Social Networks have truly changed the way we view the world today. Their importance in the fields of business, life and the pursuit of happiness cannot be questioned any longer. This blog will attempt to rate the top 30 social networking sites across the globe, in terms of their usability, ease of access, ability to network with others, presence, and many more factors. With these, I will attempt to show how social networks (and not just Facebook!) have truly connected people across the globe, making the Earth a much smaller place and in effect have changed the six degrees of separation to possibly just three. Considering the fact that it took man almost a million years to achieve six degrees of separation, the reduction to three in the last decade is truly remarkable.
I will start with number 30 and move up the ladder to rank 1 in this blog. Along the way, I will post my own experience with each site as well as testimonials from others and possibly interview experiences with executives from each site. I hope that as a reader/follower of this blog you would be able to appreciate the power of social networks. I will intersperse these rankings with other associated companies which are notable mentions (like Zynga for example) which are dependent highly on these sites and have become large businesses on their own as well.
Be on the lookout for the rankings!
Hi Rahul,
ReplyDeleteExcellent idea with this blog. Hope to see more coming. As someone working in marketing, I hope to see the social networks out there to ensure maximum reach for my company. It would be nice to see user statistics for these networks as well. Also, I think it would be better instead of a general ranking you provided ranking in the form of separate categories like professional, family, friends etc.
Looking forward to read your next blog!
@Rahul - I agree with Subhash about the separate categories. It would help out better, because it would be a case for apples to apples comparison, rather than apples to oranges I think.
ReplyDeleteYella dear,
ReplyDeleteWhat is the purpose of this blog?
What you want to achieve from this?
Isn't it just wastage of time (which almost all people have so much now a days), or to be more precise- time pass.

Hi Malaiya,
ReplyDeleteThe purpose of the blog is to educate people about how social networking can be used in marketing content online. Social networks are powerful tools to make your products visible across different genres and in different contexts. To do this, first you must understand the scenario as it exists and that is through a thorough study of the landscape. I hope that clears your doubts as to why this blog is being written.
I hope that people don't find it "time-pass" and do come away with valuable insights.
