Athlinks

MySpace and Facebook are two of the biggest networking sites today, but some people have preferred to switch to small networking sites where they can focus on special hobbies and topics. MySpace and Facebook have thousand of users in the other hand sites such as Athlinks has less users but they all have something in common. Steven Jones a university professor that tracks the Internet culture said ""What happens is a medium reaches a point where the users of it start to think it's interesting but it's too big, there are too many people, it's too difficult to find what I'm interested in." In comparison to this, I'm a Facebook user and it doesn't bother me that the network has grown so much and it probably has more users than I can imagine. I think this sites are created with the goal of communicating. The more people join the more opinions and ideas will be shared. In the other hand, if you prefer to join a network that focuses on something special that you like to talk about and receive advice, then athlinks is a great networking site to join.
