social networks
What are social networks?
What are their types?

We use social networks every day and

more than once. But do we know the
answers to these questions?

Communication
We cannot imagine our life without online communication.
Years ago, we would have waited weeks to get a letter in the
mailbox. Today, however, we don't even start the morning until
we check our Facebook and Instagram news feeds and read
messages on Messenger, WhatsApp, Snapchat and LinkedIn.
The most popular social networks in the world have millions of
users.

We use Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp and other

messengers because we want to communicate. What about
other apps? Many of them have social functions. Medium is
a platform of social publishers; SoundCloud is a social audio
platform.
Sometimes it's hard to tell if an
app with social features like
profiles, browsing, connecting,
sharing, and feeds is a social network.
So, what can be considered a social
network? Is Medium a social network?
Or Reddit? Or SoundCloud?

What are social networks?

A social network is a network of people who meet on the Internet to communicate by posting information and
images, leaving comments or sending messages. Members can expand their personal and business contacts
by connecting with others on social networking websites and
in applications.
Interdependence can be based
What exactly makes people want to connect with each other? on:
People want to share experiences, emotions and news or just
chat with a friend. This desire to share and communicate is • Friendship
due to interdependence. People depend on each other for
approval, recognition, and socialization.
• Kinship •
Common interests
• Financial exchange
• Beliefs

What is Parler? Social media

for conservatives.
Sometimes people gather around common interests, such as art, music, or books. The
object of interest is what unites the community. Technology helps these communities
stay connected and grow communities around the world. Even an age-old activity like
fishing can be improved with technology. For example, Fishbrain allows users to share
catches with other anglers. With Fishbrain, a person can join a global network of anglers
and learn about the best times and places to fish.

Financial exchange
-can also pave the way for social interactions. People want to show kindness to others or just
want to help someone. Every penny has a story, and that's what Venmo users confirm when
they comment on what they're giving money for. Venmo allows users to send money and request
money from friends and family. With Venmo, users can also buy from verified merchants.

Strong beliefs or a vegan lifestyle have always united people and facilitated communication
between them. The Shine app was designed to bring Christians together. Users can discover
events, communicate with other Christians, and form groups and communities. Users can also
share news about their lives, create posts, and upload photos and videos.

Types and types of social networks

Let's go from defining what social networks are to classifying them.

Classification by audience Classification by platform

• Broad social networks accept all users, regardless • Web networks can only be accessed from
of their origin. Facebook started as a network desktop computers. Facebook, YouTube
for students, but now it is the main network for and Twitter - some of the most popular
friendship. Moreover, Facebook has social networks today - started as web social
communities and groups formed around brands networks. Hybrid networks combine Internet
and interests. Niche social networks aim to
• and mobile capabilities and can be accessed
• connect people who come from a specific niche from any device. They are optimized for
and have a common goal. For example, The-Dots
is a community for creators who want to mobile devices and have mobile apps for iOS
collaborate and share their skills. and Android. Take Facebook and LinkedIn as
examples. You can access these platforms
from your laptop, PC, tablet and mobile phone.
Pure mobile networks are applications
designed to run on mobile devices such as
smartphones, tablets and smartwatches. Some
• popular examples include Telegram and
Snapchat.

Design
What is social media in terms of design? Users want UI/UX design to be intuitive. They will be
disappointed if they cannot understand how to work with the social network. A social network
needs clear features and clear interfaces. See how Twitter managed to create a platform that
encourages people to share tweets. With little effort, users can post short tweets, comment and
retweet. Due to its simplicity, Twitter was able to create a platform popularity.

Examples of poor social media usability

include long loading times, lengthy sign-up
processes, and basic features that are difficult
to access.

Personalization
Users have different tastes when it comes to content and offers. If you want to keep people on
your platform, apply learning filters. Learning filters allow the platform to remember what actions
people take and offer them relevant content. If you watch hairstyle videos on YouTube, you will
get suggestions for more hairstyle videos. If you like or share a post about a charity donation,
similar posts will appear on your Facebook feed in the future.
