Social Networking sites- up to date.

Old Twitter 

To be completely honest, the old twitter was somewhat hard to follow and because every time I would click on something, it would have to refresh the whole page. So that in itself, would make the loading process for a new page a little tedious. 

As for the new updated twitter, it is easier to function and makes things go a lot faster. When clicking on a new link, it doesn't open a whole new page, rather opens that part of the link on the side of the page. That causes less freezing and is such a nice update. As for adjusting to the new look, that might take some time to get use too.

U Got it bad by Usher - Justin singing TO USHER

Youtube is a site where one can post up videos, about almost anything (Keep in mind, it has to be appropriate and the copyrights). Many do not consider this site a social networking site, but in fact, it is. One can have their own page with their own videos for their friends or the whole entire computer world to see.

Many artists have been recognized through youtube and its truly popular to most people today. For example, it attracts girls' attention because there are many makeup and clothes tutorials. It attracts boys because there are many skateboarding and sports videos. It really has videos for almost all age groups as well.

A little like blogger..

A site that has been booming in the teenage social networking society is a website called Tumblr. Much like blogger, its a place where networkers blog many different entries. Personally, I have one and it helps me vent about the most recent things, and a good place to read back on old memories. At the beginning of 2010, many people got involved in a project called 365, where they used tumblr to post up a picture a day for 365 days (1 year) to show how much one has grow over the year.

Signing up is easy as 1-2-3. Like other networking sites just begin by going to tumblr.com and entering an email and password to get started. With tumblr, blogging isn't only limited to text blogging, one can post pictures, quotes, links, chats, audio, and videos. Tumblr truly gives blogging a whole new level.

Parental View

A couple of years ago, many parents complained about the use of myspace and other sites for young teenagers. There has been many reported cases of parents petitioning schools to band myspace for elementary kids. Yet nowadays, parents have been joining the social networking sites and instead of being the stickler, they have been adding their children on face book and closely monitoring their activity.

Something a little different

Taken from Skype.com
A new trendy site that has been making their way to many social networkers is a site called Skype. It makes it easy to talk to family and friends, across the world or next door, in a more advanced way. Basically, it is like video chatting through this site. This truly connects the world to show real emotions. Through the computer, a father on a business trip 500 miles away can see his daughter grow up through this site called Skype.
