Title: …………………………………………………………

Do the names Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter ring a bell?


They probably do because they are some of the most popular sites
on the internet today. They're called social networking
sites because they allow people to interact by sharing news and
personal information, photos, videos, as well as communicate
through chatting or messaging one another.

There are hundreds, if not thousands of social networking sites on the internet.
Facebook is the most popular, with about a billion people using it every day. Twitter, a site
that limits "tweets" (short text posts) to 280 characters, is also very popular. Other popular
sites include Instagram, where people share photos and videos they've taken; Snapchat, a
mobile-only messaging app; Pinterest, which is like a giant online scrapbook; and YouTube,
the mega-video site. The common thread between all of these social networks is that they
provide a place for people to interact, share content and ideas, and stay in touch with one
another.

The first social networking site, Six Degrees, launched in May 1997. Like Facebook
today. Facebook was launched in 2004, first as a social networking site for college students.
YouTube launched the following year, allowing people to post videos they made or found
online. Twitter launched in 2006. The appeal wasn't just being able to connect and share with
others; there was also a chance you could become famous. (Justin Bieber, who began posting
videos of his performances in 2007 when he was 12, was one of YouTube's first stars).
