Today social networks have become an integral component of our life.



10 years ago the Internet entertainments were considered as privilege of teenagers mostly however the times are changing and today it is hardly possible to meet a person who would be unaware of what social networks and online communities are.

MySpace, Qzone, FaceBook and many other social networks help people socialize, tie together those who belong to different nationalities.

It is hard to believe but housewives as well as top-managers of huge companies with working capital exceeding 100 million dollars a year, a steady-going family man and a 13-year old teenager holding their breath are checking their mails on a daily basis, looking who else did watch their profile, who added them as a friend, who wrote...

With time the predestination of social networks have started changing.

If originally social networks were created to help people find each other, bit by bit the aims of the people registering in the Internet and starting different online blogs have been changing.

Originally social networks and blogs were used to half-open our inner world and private life to the others.

No matter what could percolate through this narrow slot into the world, what piece of us could penetrate from our domicile whether our photos or the photos of our family, or our thoughts or comments, it was our loophole out to share what we have with the world, to be heard, to be appreciated.

With time, people realized that it is a perfect way of self-promotion. People use the Internet space to demonstrate their works, their achievements that previously only their relatives and friends could see.

We write novels and post them in our blogs, we write articles on different events in LiveJournal, we post our photos in different photoblogs and formus.

And even more, by the content of the blogs, by its interface we can make a psychological portrait of their owners. People used to tend to demonstrate themselves the way they were in the Internet when they used to do it anonymously.

Today the era of anonymous authors sank into oblivion and we aspire to share what we have with the others through the Internet, feeling that we have crawled out of the swaddling clothes of our family and friends' appraisals.
