Virtal Communities

Communites in Cyber Space are increasingly becoming part of many peoples daily lives. Atracting young and old, sites such as Facebook, Bebo and Second Life have huge membership numbers and almost anyone can join.

Generally the sites are used for making friends, keeping in touch with friends and also locating friends whom you lose contact with. Its a kind of social network on a global basis. It can also be like a club were the members have similar interests for example Arsenal fans discussing the latest win on the teams Bebo page or a bands new album release.

I am a member of Bebo, i became a member as all my friends are scattered across Ireland and the world. We use the site to keep contact, not only through chatting but uploading recent pictures,videos,new music etc. I think its great for keeping contact i can regularly check on my sisters progress in Australia and see her too. However its novelty is beginning to ware off on me, i dont really bother updating my page anynore just use it to send messages and look at others pages instead.

I would recommend joining one but only if your on the same one as your age group or your interest group but all in all we like it very much indeed!!
