My history and use of social networking probably started when I was in fifth grade. Not knowing that it was considered social networking, I was first introduced to America Online’s Instant Messenger, a blog network known as Xanga, then to photobucket, myspace, youtube, and facebook. I would use these networks to keep in touch with friends, browse other people’s pages, see what they are doing, also the fun of stylizing my homepage with different colors, fonts, and pictures. Currently speaking, I only use photobucket, youtube, and facebook. The social network I use most is facebook because it keeps me in touch with my old school mates, friends, classmates, and other networking companies and organizations. I prefer using facebook over the other social networks I signed up for originally because it is simple and I am not interested in the new social networks out there.
