The term 'Social Network' gets used, as I believe, rather incorrectly. Sites like Facebook and twitter (and sites that have come and died such as Bebo and MySpace) have always been marketed under the category of Social networking. However, I have found in my experience, that these sites only want to be social, or rather, where set up to be but ultimately where bastardised by the users that the sites where aimed at.
I call these sites 'Pseudo-social' for a good reason, These sites hide behind the mask of social. They are anything but. The user-base just spam other people with their selfish posts revolving around their on private microcosm of the real world. Initially, People are more likely to use the site to connect with family and friends etc. However, they soon descend into a terrible world of selfies and personal rants. (Which personal sites, like blogs were created.)
This is why I adore Google plus, It seems like a very unselfish,true, social network, A place where people share things with the community, I have to say truly that I wish my friends and family would make the switch.. Which tends to be the case with most things I talk about.
I encourage you all to switch to the more ascetically pleasing, actual social network, and as shameful as it is, I am going to ask you to add me to your circles.
