Forming a list of social networks that occupy a leading position in the global ranking, experts identified ten services that managed to gather a record audience in their vast expanses. In global projects, there are a variety of people living in different countries, professing different religions, differing from each other in terms of income, social status, age, interests, etc.
Facebook
For several years now, the fast and modern Facebook network has been confidently taking the leading position in all ratings. The site has already become the most popular and widespread project of this type in the world, but the number of users continues to increase every day, striving for the number of all owners of mobile devices. FB quality is also growing - new tools and capabilities are regularly being introduced, work is accelerated, and integration with smartphones is being improved.
Google+
It would not be permissible not to include in our list of social networks this, which unites millions of account owners on Google. Anyone who has registered an email address with a popular search engine can easily connect to Google+. The project is constantly evolving, and now, by the abundance of functions and capabilities, the service is practically not inferior to the leader - Facebook. So, most recently, developers have provided users with the opportunity to create group video chats.
Twitter
The list of social networks that are most popular, Twitter was by no means accidental. After all, this is the most convenient service for publishing short messages. Twitter provides its users with tools for publishing photo and video materials, and almost everyone uses it, including influential politicians and stars of the world of show business.
Instagram
This is a real paradise for photography enthusiasts. Not so long ago, Instagram became available to Facebook, but so far it looks like an independent project. Every day on the pages of the site appear millions of new photos processed using beautiful bright filters. Users are happy to rate and comment on new publications.
Foursquare
Without Foursquare, the list of social networks would be incomplete. This service provides opportunities for communicating with friends online, but its "trick" is not at all that. By registering on the site, you register at a specific place on the map. And adding friends, you get the opportunity to monitor their movement and meet whenever possible.
Tumblr
One of the fastest growing social networks on the Internet. She acts on the principle of a blog, which provides her with fast work and huge popularity among users. You get the opportunity to keep your own online magazine, as well as view news and interesting publications of other participants.
What about us?
So, we will continue to compile a list that includes the best social networks. Russia in recent years has issued several promising projects at once, which have every chance to break into the global TOP. So, VKontakte is breaking new records of attendance. In addition to unlimited opportunities for communication (including via a webcam), VKontakte users have access to a huge number of communities of various subjects and orientations, the largest video and audio recording libraries in Runet. In addition, the projects “Odnoklassniki”, “My World” from Mail.ru attract attention to themselves with a lot of interesting functions and ease of use.
Specialized Social Networks
A few pages would not be enough for us to even simply list all the social networks of the world. Indeed, in this case, the list would also contain thousands of not too large-scale, but interesting projects that allow people of a narrow circle to communicate with each other. For example, many researchers, scientists and those who are simply interested in science are very pleased to use the Academia.edu website. And, for example, the CafeMom service allows you to chat and find a lot of interesting and useful information for young mothers. Christians also have their own social network, and it is called Cross.tv.
Every year, more and more such projects appear on the Internet, and therefore finding yourself like-minded people or advertising your product to those who will be really interested in buying it is easier today than ever.
