Social networks

Hello readers!


Today, I am going to write about social websites that the young people use nowadays.


The websites are the place on the world wide that contains a information about a person, organisation, etc., and that usually consists of many web pages joined by hyperlinks. This famous websites, become a very important pages of Internet for us.

There are a lot, but only I am going to mention some of them.

1) Whatsapp

WhatsApp Messenger is a proprietary, cross-platform instant messaging subscription service for smartphones. In addition to text messaging, users can send each other images, video, and audio media messages. I think that this application is the most used speaking about young people of 14-19 years. Nowadays all the youngsters have this and they are very happy with the using. In my opinion the WhatsApp is now a very important application that everybody have in each phone.

2) Twitter

Twitter is an online social networking and microblogging service that enables users to send and read "tweets", which are text with limited messages.Registered users can read and post tweets but unregistered users can only read them. Twitter is used by people from all around the world. About this, I can say that is a very good website because you can find people very easily, comparing with another networks.

3) Facebook

Facebook is an online social networking service. Its name stems from the colloquial name for the book given to students at the start of the academic year by some American university administrations to help students get to know one another. The Facebook is the biggest network around the world, a lot of people use it. Like the twitter you can find people from all around.

 4) Instagram

Instagram is an online photo-sharing, video-sharing and social networking service that enables its users to take pictures and videos, apply digital filters to them, and share them on a variety of social networking services, such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Flickr. This website is practically to raise your photos or videos. A lot of people around me use and also I have it, and at moment I can say that is a very good network and very easy to use and to edit our photos. 

5) Tuenti

Tuenti is a Spain-based, social networking service, that has been referred to as the "Spanish Facebook." Though the name sounds similar to the English word twenty, it actually comes from "tu [id]enti[dad]," meaning "your identity". Tuenti is basically a Spanish network. Starting with childrens of 11 or 12 years to adults of 60 years they have an account of Tuenti.

6) Tumblr

Tumblr, stylized in its logo as tumblr., is a microblogging platform and social networking website founded by David Karp and owned by Yahoo! Inc. The service allows users to post multimedia and other content to a short-form blog. Tumblr is not very used in Spain but in foreign countries they use it a lot. This network, is not very used like others but is very easy and fast to share your music, videos, photos and things like that.

 There are some advantages and  disadvantages with those and more social networks.

- Advantages: You can speak with the foreign people by easy way. You can find people and know about them.

- Disadvantages: Some people raise personal photos and it could be very dangerous because everyone can take it or also download.


 We can say that WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook and Tuenti are the most used speaking about young people. The instagram is also very used, but mostly the mayority of users are adults. Tumblr as I have sayed before, is a foreign network.. but I have heard that it permits to post multimedia, texts, videos.. so lets we start using here, in Spain!
