Social Networking Sites

When working with social networking sites I noticed a lot of similarities as well as distinct differences when using them on a daily basis. The similarities between Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and LinkedIn was that immediately they require you to sign up with them in order to use there services. They also required information of some sort from you whether it be just your name, address and email. They all give you the ability to add a picture of yourself for reference purposes. The ability to invite new members via these sites is a big feature they use since way it is done is through email.

The differences on these sites are more refined uses of the similarities between the sites. On Facebook we can send invitations members for private events that arise. LinkedIn and Myspace have this feature capability but Twitter does not.
