The best social networking sites

[Alex99]

Today we live in a time of social media, as we cannot find a mobile phone without applications that allow communication via the internet. We even went too far and spent most of our time in front of our phone screens, and some of us reached the point of addiction. This has arranged several risks to our lifestyle, namely the lack of social life and verbal communication with those around us. Despite criticism of social media, the latter have many benefits, and a major contribution to globalization. Here we review a list of the best and most popular social networking applications and websites that are used the most according to the "abcnewspoint" website.

1- Facebook

Facebook is the most popular site ever. It is allowed to publish pictures and opinions, and to send friends. This site was initially restricted to students of Harvard University, where Mark Zuckerberg, creator of Facebook, was a student there. Then this site soon spread to the whole world.


2- Twitter

Twitter is the second most popular social media site in the world, allowing its users to write and read tweets. However, these tweets are short. The site was launched in 2006, and currently has about 500 million users, including celebrities and politicians who use it to keep their followers informed of their latest news and activities. This site is responsible for launching the hashtag (#) and is a symbol of the most common words. Before Twitter, the hashtag was used only for numbers on phones.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid I have to disagree with such a TOP listing on social media. Facebook has been in its decline for a long time, and few young people use it now regularly. It’s boring and complicated – in other words – it’s a social media from boomers.
The most important one is still Instagram because most business affairs occur there. And if you want to have more customers (or have them at all), you MUST have an account there with as many followers as you can reach. https://megafamous.com/buy-instagram-followers can help you with this.
The next one is (as for me) TikTok because it becomes more and more important every day. People who were just dancing there a year ago are making millions today. It is hard to overestimate its significance today and in the future.
