Social Networking - Books/own opinion I had some trouble finding information about social networks in the library, so i decided to give my own opinion about them. The top 3 most used social networking sites on the internet are Myspace, Twitter and the most popular of them all is Facebook. There are more than 500 millions users signed up to Facebook, 50% of them log on at any given day, the average user has over 130 friends and people spend over 700 billion mintues on facebook a month. More than 30 billion pieces of content shared each month. One of them is photographic images. One of the main features for Social Networks is Photo sharing, over 60 million photos are added each week, this makes photography one of the most important parts of creating a social networking profile. Using a social network not only lets you communicate with friends and family, but it is also used as an electronic photo album, it lets you upload almost any and every photograph you take with a camera. Now as the popularity of using social networking grows, the demand to upload more and more images grows also, now it seems that people have to upload images of anything an everything, such as holidays, weddings, birthdays, days out and just day to day life. From coming from an age of people sticking family photographs into albums, to entering a new age of uploading many images at a time and not worrying if the will be worn out with time. I have come to think of what the future holds for photograph albums in social networking sites and what new ways to store and view photographs will come in the future.
