Hello,
I have been researching social media for some time now and
how it's concept has changed the way people interact online
and I believe it can even be extended to a similar format in
the form of forums where people do interact and discuss
personal views on specific subjects but they are generally
limited to one subject but they are still a form of social
media.
The difference with social networks is that people dicuss
and share information on just about anything and are not
limited to one particular subject so they eliminate the word
'niche' and saves people from having to create several
different forums to get their word out about different
subjects.
So obviously social networking was the next level up from
forums and is partly why they have become so popular and
this is obvious when you now see Internet Marketers now
using the sites as part of their marketing strategies.
Scripts can now be found online for anyone to create their
own social network platforms, and experience what it is like
to run one of these sites, but again most people I know use
them for specific social 'niches', just like a forum script
is used, so they lose the benefit of capturing a complete
audience and may as well be using a forum script almost.
MySpace, FaceBook, Twitter and even YouTube have a global
following and cater for every concievable subject that
people want to discuss and share and because they were, I
believe, the founders of this social concept they now
dominate the internet where social site users are concerned.
Creating your own social networking platform can still have
it's benefits and you don't really have to try and compete with the Big Name sites, that would be a pointless exercise
obviously, but if it is something new and unique I think
people would still look at it with curiosity, that's our
nature, and give it a try just to become a part of a new
community online especially if one is a social site fanatic
which millions are.
I run a simple Internet Marketing Forum, which I created
about 5 months ago, added some relevant content and
submitted it to the search engines using some very popular
and competitive keywords.
I didn't really expect big things from the forum, although I
did hope, and today the forum, after just a few months, has a membership of almost 29,000 and currently growing at a rate of 800+ per day over the last week.
So that is an example of people wanting to be a part of a
new online community and that is in just one 'niche' so you
can see why social networks, being the next evolution from
forums have become so popular and I think it is
extraordinary to say the least and will take something
phenominal to top it but who knows? .. the internet has
evolved so much, so quickly that I wouldn't be surprised.
By the way, if you've ever thought about how you could have
a go and start a social network of you're own there is a
great script for one here

and you can customize it to look how ever you want,
After the success of the 'One Niche Forum' I've actually
bought the script/platform and I'm giving it a go because
I'm convinced people will surely be curious enough to try it
out, being the next revolution in online social interaction
on todays internet, and I have the forum as a precedent for
people wanting to be part of a new community haven't I!
Social networking sites are here to stay for the long haul,
I'm sure, unless someone can come up with something far more
revolutionary and I don't think that will happen any time
soon!
Of course its facebook :))

Great blog for teens
Through social networking, people can use networks of online friends and group memberships to keep in touch with current friends, reconnect with old friends or create real–life friendships through similar interests or groups. Besides establishing important social relationships, social networking members can share their interests with other like–minded members by joining groups and forums. Some networking can also help members find a job or establish business contacts. Social media is surely an effective which helps in boosting your business. [commercial link removed, per guidelines]
I think My Yearbook or Bebo are good but not the best. I think Google plus is going to be one of the best sites in social networking field. It`ll cross Facebook mark soon and make its owb niche with the features like sparks, hangouts, circles etc. What say :-) [commercial invitation removed, per guidelines]
I like facebook . Because its navigation is good
Of course Facebook is unbeatable. Some major FB players even buy FB fans from great sites [commercial link removed, per guidelines]
