Continuing the topic of social networks, which I raised the other day (by the way, if you have not read the post about Russian social networks,), I offer you the translation of the article “33 Hanging Places in the Era of Social Networks” published on the rev2.org blog. The article presents an impressive list of overseas social networks and provides a good overview of this rapidly growing market. Over the past two years, the popularity of social media has increased markedly. Everyone can find a network to their liking, there are networks for dogs, parents, book lovers and shopaholics. In my opinion, social networks are very useful and interesting to spend time. It is because of the growing interest in social media that I created this list... I think it will come in handy for those who, despite their existing MySpace or Bebo profiles, are ready to look for something new and interesting.
Please note - I did not include in the list services focused on social bookmarking, as well as systems "with a hint" to social networks (YouTube or Flickr). I also divided the list into two categories - general and specific. The list covers only those services that are available to a wide range of users (no closed beta by invitation).
MySpace is the largest social network in the world. It conquered the United States with great speed; now MySpace has about 80 million users. In 2005, it was acquired by Newscorp for $ 580 million. MySpace continues to develop rapidly and at the moment it is she who determines the way of development of social networks.
Bebo - Unlike the Americanized MySpace, Bebo is targeted at other English-speaking countries such as England, Australia and New Zealand. Bebo is very similar in function to MySpace. Initially, Bebo was created in order to carry out communication between friends, but later the network has grown and currently has about 40 million users.

Social pension
Social pension assigned to disabled citizens permanently residing in the Russian Federation.
Conditions for granting a social pension:
There are special sites on the Internet whose purpose is to bring people together. Through them, you can correspond, share photos, listen to music, watch videos, play games and much more. These resources are called social networks.
Such sites can be either of a certain orientation (for example, only publishing your own poems), or without it.
We can say that their meaning is so that even an inexperienced user can solve some problem. For example, post your photos or post a video on the Internet. But this is too simplistic.
For example, I recently went on vacation to the sea and brought back a lot of cool photos. I want to show them to my friends, relatives, colleagues. Social networks allow me to do this very quickly: I just add photos there and those to whom I wanted to show them see them immediately.
How it works
First you need to go to such a site and register. This is a free procedure - you just need to answer a few questions.
Immediately after registration is issued personal page... Well, then, as they say, it's a matter of technology - we publish information and exchange it.
I would like to start this article with a message that from today / from the next New Year / from the moment Ukraine entered the EU (underline the necessary) I am leaving Facebook and completely returning to real life... But, alas and ah, I, like many others, have a whole list of reasons not to do this - work in an online magazine, friends and family scattered around the world from Los Angeles to Bali, etc. etc. In my defense, I can say that I have already deleted the pages in other social networks and I try to minimize the freeze on the FB. And now about the reasons according to the list:
1. My friends, we are getting dumber
Yes, yes, without exaggeration! We are getting dumber and degraded on social media. Funny pictures, fake news, comments of friends and acquaintances of acquaintances effectively cope with their task of bringing the level of our intelligence closer to absolute zero.2. Don't be a rag - put a time limit!
Admit it honestly, who has ever worked the principle of half an hour a day? This is when you quickly, for 15 minutes, "ran" in the morning to your page - looked through all the news, unsubscribed to friends - and plunged into work. And then in the evening (you have to see what your friends answered) for another 15 minutes and that's it! You flip through War and Peace with one hand, with the other you make an appointment with your friends, glancing triumphantly at the switched off laptop. Ha!Maybe, of course, I'm so weak-willed and all my acquaintances are like that, only no time restrictions work with social networks. They add interesting news to you, lure you with photos of beautiful landscapes, and distract you with engaging links.
3. Set an example for your children
This point must be read by future and present parents who shout about how harmful it is for a child to sit in front of the computer all day and tell them what a wonderful childhood they had with yard games and climbing trees. And now everyone went to their laptops, iPads and other devices with Internet access. We went to our pages on social networks and with an unwavering hand deleted them to hell. Because children need to be taught by their own example and only in this way! 
4. What about the right to privacy?
On social networks, everything is for show - where you were, with whom, what did you eat, where you rested, are you dating someone or have already broken up. All your personal space is bare and presented to the public in some eerily simplified form. Not a single post about how you liked an event, trip or movie can fully convey all your feelings and sensations. Social media is pushing our privacy computer game times of Tetris or snake. The user's goal is to navigate the virtual space, collecting likes and leaving comments. But what about the right to privacy?
5. With what post will you leave this world?
No one knows when his life will end. Will it be in a ripe old age, surrounded by children and grandchildren with the last photo posted on Facebook with a shaking hand with the caption "grandmother's centenary." Or, your last virtual presence will be marked with an unsightly status or bad comment. Against the background of a global reluctance to suddenly leave for another world, this is, of course, a mere trifle. But, all the same, it becomes somehow uncomfortable that you will never be able to consciously write your last post, putting the point that you yourself would like.
These are the serious reasons for leaving the virtual space. I hope that in time I will be able to write a "Done" comment on my own article.
Some users regret that no one has yet invented social networks without registration. Such projects would have many advantages, but there are also many disadvantages. And most importantly, no one would be able to maintain their page. It is for this reason that no one creates them, but if necessary, you can use it without registering.
You can use any such networks. Of course, the functionality will be limited, but it's easy to find a person, check when he was online or watch a video. This does not require programs and browser extensions, open access provided to everyone.
How to enter Vkontakte or Odnoklassniki without registration?
If the main task of switching to social. networks without registering - this is a search for people, it is much easier to use a special service from Yandex. Follow the link yandex.ru/people and you will be taken to a special search for people. It is enough to indicate the name and surname to get a list:
To make the search accurate, you can enter additional data, as well as select specific social network... On Odnoklassniki, and in many other social networks, pages are not hidden from unregistered users, so open any profile:
Similarly, you can search in any other social media. networks. When using Vkontakte, you don't need to switch to Yandex.People. There, user search is open to everyone. Enter vk.com/search in the address bar and the page you need will open:
In the main line, you can specify the first and last name, and through the sidebar, additional data is indicated:
