I'm in love with social media. I guess that sort of links me to wanting to enter into a Creative Communications field now, doesn't it? There are SO many social media websites out there, but this is a list of the five websites I find to be most useful.
1. Twitter - Twitter has blown up ever since it's launch, reportedly growing on average 1.382% every year, registering a total of just more than 7 million unique visitors in the US per month. To me, it has now overtaken my Facebook account, and is the most useful of all social media websites.
2. Facebook - Facebook is still my number two, but I believe it's becoming less of a "social media website" and has veered off into the category of "gaming website". There are so many apps and more users are reporting they hardly use Facebook for connecting with friends/family anymore and prefer to use it for adding applications and games online.
3. Myspace - Myspace will never outrank Facebook, mainly due to the fact that they are copying Facebook and ruining their credibility by looking desperate. Of course, Myspace is still very useful for certain people, such as bands and singers/songwriters. Myspace has edged out Facebook in connecting people to the music...but that won't get them any farther ahead.
4. Scribd - Very useful website that allows you to download and upload documents, which are hosted on the Scribd servers, and share them privately or with larger audiences. On May 5, 2010 Scribd launched the largest implemented HTML5 website to date at the Web 2.0 Conference in San Fransisco. Flash is becoming obsolete and irritating anyways, so I am sure we all love you for it.
5. CafeMom - Sorry, but I have to add this one in there. I'm a mom, sue me. I remember one day searching and searching for a "mom's only" social networking website. I'll tell you, there aren't many out there...and it's even more scarce for dad's. However, they have the best community out there, thus far. Although, there's a new website called Twitter Moms, and I could see them easily replacing CafeMom due to how much I love Twitter.
