Facebook
is a social utility that connects people with friends and others who
work, study and live around them. People use it to keep up with friends,
upload an unlimited number of photos, share links and videos, and learn
more about the people they meet. All that's needed to join Facebook
is a valid email address. To connect with coworkers or classmates, use
your school or work email address to register. Once you register, join
a regional network to connect with the people in your area. Facebook
is made up of many networks, each based around a company, region, or
school. You can join the networks that reflect your real-life communities
to learn more about the people who work, live, or study around you.
This Platform enables anyone, anywhere, to build complete applications
that you can choose to use. The possibilities are endless. Define your
experience on Facebook by choosing applications that are useful and
relevant to your world. Privacy is important and people should have
control over how they share their information and who can see it. People
on Facebook can only see the profiles of confirmed friends and the people
in their networks. They can use privacy settings at any time to control
who can see what.
MySpace is one of the online communities that lets you meet your
friends' friends. Create a private community on MySpace and you can
share photos, journals and interests with your growing network of mutual
friends! See who knows who, or how you are connected. Find out if you
really are six people away from famous actors. MySpace is for everyone:
Friends who want to talk Online, Single people who want to meet other
Singles, Matchmakers who want to connect their friends with other friends,
Families who want to keep in touch--map your Family Tree, Business people
and co-workers interested in networking, Classmates and study partners,
Anyone looking for long lost friends!
ICQ was established in June 1996 under the name Mirabilis. The
founders were four young avid-computer users in their twenties and they
realized that people were connected to the Internet, but not interconnected.
Instant messaging was the missing link, a technology that
made peer-to-peer communication possible. The following year the young
company took the internet by storm. The idea was simple. Yet, by the
time ICQ was released it was an instant success that answered the needs
of the internet users. In 1998, after two years of amazing growth, ICQ
was acquired by AOL LLC.
