As I have stated in my previous blog entry social network is now a big part of every one's life. Currently there are number of social networks are available for the users. And they are categorized too. Some for people older than 13 years and some are for ages 18+. For finding friends (new or old acquaintances) to dating, education to fun .. all types of networks are available.

Down below I am listing some of the famous social networking sites currently very popular with users:

• Facebook: This is the most famous social network with more than 845,000,000+ registered users. In this one can post status updates, photographs, videos, create pages , create apps, create polls, play games etc etc. This network is open for any one to join (13+ yrs) and gives different options for the user to select security levels.
• Twitter: Twitter is a popular social network which allows the user to micro-blog, generate RSS and do the status updates. Unlike Face book, twitter allows user to enter only limited number of characters for updates. This service is more famous for teaching purposes. It has around 300,000,000+ registered users.
• Google+: Google+ is a very recent social network by Google Inc. I have not used it much but lot of gmail users are now using it. It has around 170,000,000+ users. This network also allows the users to update their status, which will allow all the friends and family to get up to date information.
