[ad_1]

Many people feel that social networking sites are a complete waste of time. But on the contrary, social networking sites are those platforms which help us to stay connected with our friends or relatives. Apart from that social networking sites can be helpful in business purposes also. So not only you gain on relations from these sites, you also benefit monetarily from them. MySpace, Orkut, Zipitin, Facebook, Twitter and Tagged are a few networking sites which have brought together millions of people together.

The key differences of Facebook, MySpace, Tagged, and zipitin.com are bottled below:

Do they provide a legitimate social networking platform ?

Zipitin, MySpace, Tagged and Facebook provide a legitimate platform, but though at MySpace your network may comprise of friends, batch mates etc, at Facebook, you can also include colleagues and business professionals. At Tagged, you can make a great profile, chat, flirt, play games and meet your friends. But at Zipitin you have much more - free auctions, classifieds, business directory and more. That's the difference - the network on Zipitin is more professional and mature. Cute friends and relatives do not really help you in your business, especially if you are looking at a larger audience. You need a broader area of ​​demographic profiles.

Do these networking sites offer an opportunity to reveal your persona?

MySpace has given its users power to create their personality. But on Facebook, there is not much room for creativity. At Tagged things are pretty simple and creativity is minimal. Here you can get creative about the ways on how you can meet someone special. Zipitin on the other hand has space for ingenuity and there is so much you can add to your persona. You can create a free profile. What's more - even a 14 year old can create his or her profile, which is not allowed on some social networking platforms including Facebook and Orkut. This aspect will help you reach younger audience who may be your potential customers.

What about compatibility with Web 2.0?

MySpace offers some good widgets, but with an ever evolving new generation, they need to offer more. Facebook also offers lots of things, like you can now import Flickr photos directly to your Facebook account. Tagged has some features like tagged tip where you can send message to your previous buyer to alert that you have a new collection of pets. But Zipitin has gone a step ahead and offers you to write blogs, post events, see videos, listen to music, solve quizzes, play games and even read your horoscope!

Which one of these sites is gaining momentum ?

Facebook has been there for several years now and even though it keeps offering new features, there are some features like advertising for a business, need to be changed. If you have to advertise on Facebook, you need to pay money for their PPC. Similarly you have to pay for ads on MySpace for PPC advertising. However, at Zipitin, you can post your advertisements for free in the classified section. Additionally there is a business listing, where you can see a wide range of business opportunities.

Overall, Zipitin is there to stay and shine amongst rest of the social networking platforms.
