Social Networking Sites

Social networking sites are websites which allow you leave messages, share photos, music, video and make new friends! These websites are examples of convergence, as now you can do everything on one website, instead of using e-mail, messenger and links to display information.

www.bebo.com
www.myspace.com
www.habbo.com
www.friendster.com
www.linkedin.com
