They dominate the internet, one of the most advanced and spreaded websites are obviously Internet Dating sites, or Social Network sites, for a number of reasons I will talk in my article.
First of all, I’m Scorpiono, a young webmaster, a really sociable guy who created it’s own website based on the rules of the social dynamics, and created a social network where people can stay together even when they are in different locations across the globe.
There are definetly giants in this industry, and we talk here about MySpace, world’s most largest social network, the “root of evil” how many other webmaster said before. It’s harsh, but it’s the true reality, being the biggest network means alot of influence they have on their users, and thus more responsability comes.
Why do people like this kind of websites and what makes them number one, it’s a combination of viral marketing and human nature. There are so many communities online, about IT, literature, cars, fashion, celebrities, etc.. the online market is flooded with new websites from the niche. And yes, most of them are more succesful than any other kind of website, because this kind of websites are of a more general use than any other could be..
Beside MySpace, I’ll take a look at few other websites and review them from my personal point of view:
The community consists of people creating/sharing news, videos, articles. It’s a very useful website for people interested into knowing more about diverse kind of subjects.
Official description: Technology focused news site where the stories are chosen by community members rather than editors.
I’ve been using Digg for quite a while now, to promote my own articles and to share information which I found really useful, with any other member of the community.
2. Facebook and Hi5
Similar to MySpace, these kind of websites are more into dating and creating friend circles for European people. They have a huge success amoungst teenagers and they are very highly visited.
Time to brag, but it’s a website I’ve put soul in creating and making it a better place for my friends in general. I never believed it’s going to be such a success, because the online teenage dating site appear only after I’ve seen that not only my friends joined, but hundred others. I wanted it to be different than any other social network, I created “Is that hot?!” in the fun section, added “Buy Celebrity” recently where you can appera on the first page, etc..
Hopefully in time, we will grow even bigger and start doing prize contensts. One thing is for sure MyLOL - Online teenage dating site is a personal success amoungst the online dating industry, offering free membership for life and a bit more ;)
