There is no question that social networking site plays an important role in our life today. Even a ten year old child maintains his online profile on all the popular social networking sites and keeps it updated with the recent photos, video and audio clips. They visit their profile more than once a day and update their profile status on a regular basis.
Recently, i have visited our neighbor and i saw their child hardly 12 years old exploring facebook and updating his profile. He was a daily FB user, instantly he looked for my profile and sent a friend request. The desire of making new friends and hang out with then online, sharing thoughts and discussing on various issues are the most important factors making these websites popular. Few years back when orkut was at its peak, it had been a trend to join orkut. Almost all my mates in the college used to visit orkut for 4-5 hours a day.
Apart from the hang out stuff, people are also generating business out of some sites like LinkedIn and others. Facebook has been the leading social networking site since long with a page ranking of 2 and above 500 millions users regitered, followed by Ozone(200 mn), Twitter(175 mn) and Habbo(162 mn). Though Orkut is very popular in countries like India and Brazil, but still its ranked 9 when we talk about number of users.
