FACEBOOK:Facebook is a great way to meet friends and keep up on what they are doing. Once you add a friend to your Facebook friend list you will always know when they are adding things to their blog or updating their profile. Join Facebook groups to meet people like you, or browse the profiles to find new friends. Facebook's classmates and co-worker search is good for finding friends too. Facebook tells you when your friends are updating their profiles, adding to their blogs or have some other news on their website.

flickr:Flickr is an image and video hosting website, web services suite, and online community platform. In addition to being a popular Web site for users to share personal photographs, the service is widely used by bloggers as a photo repository. As of November 2008, it claims to host more than 3 billion images.Flickr provides both private and public image storage. A user uploading an image can set privacy controls that determine who can view the image. A photo can be flagged as either public or private. Private images are visible by default only to the uploader, but they can also be marked as viewable by friends and/or family. Privacy settings also can be decided by adding photographs from a user's photostream to a "group pool". If a group is private all the members of that group can see the photo. If a group is public the photo becomes public as well. Flickr also provides a "contact list" which can be used to control image access for a specific set of users in a way similar to that of LiveJournal.

Wiki.com is a direct route to the most specific and current research data available on topic.[citation needed] Students, teachers, and professors are the fastest growing user base.[citation needed] Gamers and those interested in music or travel also comprise heavy-traffic user groups. Wiki.com is managed by a small privately-owned company based in SoHo, New York City. It bears a certain relationship to Google.

BLOG:A Web site that contains dated text entries in reverse chronological order (most recent first) about a particular topic. Blogs serve many purposes from online newsletters to personal journals to "ranting and raving." Written by one person or a group of contributors, entries contain commentary and links to other Web sites, and images and videos as well as a search facility may be included.
Although some blogs invite feedback and comments, Internet newsgroup discussions, which started long before the Web, tend to be more question-and-answer oriented.
