The main purpose of these websites is for social uses of keeping in touch with people. These websites allow people to become friends with who they want. Once you are friends with someone on a social networking site, you can stay in contact with them. You can view their personal pages, view their pictures and videos and send messages back and forth with that person. They can also provide a lot of entertainment to people. Myspace, for example, is very good for people posting music. Up and coming bands and musicians create myspace pages to post their music. Once they post it, anyone they are friends with can listen to their music. These sites also have some applications built in to allow users to play games. It can also be good for people getting any news they have out to by posting it to their social networking pages. These sites are very useful as long as they are used the right way. When people apply for a job, or apply to a college, the organization will sometimes check their applicants social network pages. This can cause alot of trouble for some people if they have inappropriate material because the organization will not want them, but if there is nothing bad on the page, these sites are great.
