Social Networking Sites

MySpace Number one on the internet for social networks is myspace with about 120 million users. It was origionally created for musicians then later attracted a much more diverse crowd.

Facebook This site is number two on the internet with about 90 – 100 milliion users. Much easier to set up and use for the biginner. You don’t get pimp out your profile like you can with myspace but it has lots of very cool features and it is fastly becoming the new myspace. It started as a site for students and then later opened up to the rest of the world.

EONS This site is owned by the same guy who ownes Monster.com and his lates site, a social network was designed for baby boomers which is adults from aout 40 on up.

BOOMj This is another social networkig site for the baby boomer crowd. The name BOOMj derives from the two primary audiences they serve: the Baby Boomers Generation and Generation Jones – both born during the big 20-year, post-World War II boom in births from the mid-1940’s to mid-1960’s.

  • Baby Boomers were born 1942 to 1953; we associate their youth with Howdy Doody, Davy Crocket hats, and later, Woodstock and Vietnam War demonstrations.
  • Generation Jones, born 1954 to 1965, is a newer concept and name that represents the actual children of the sixties (more wide-eyed than tie-dyed); Jonesers were weaned on The Brady Bunch and Easy Bake Ovens and later were the teens of 70’s heavy metal, disco, punk and soul.

Here is a list of other social sites. We will give some info on each one later. Just want to get them listed for now.
