Promotion and support of companies, sales of goods, services - Objectives of strategies in social marketing (SMM). The key to success is the choice of the correct network among the sets available. Otherwise, the time spent on the search target audience Will be useless. What social networks exist on the Internet, how do they differ from each other and what are popular with their users? Consider more details.

History of social network

The first prototype of the service for communication was described back in 1837 in the fantastic novel by Vladimir Odoevsky. The theory and principles of creation are set out in the works of mathematicians of 1950-1960. In 1954, the term itself appears. Real incarnation Social networks received with the widespread development of the Internet.

The first similarity was the resource of Classmates.com in 1995, where it was possible to find students and students of different educational institutions. More familiar views and functions appeared in the Sixdegrees.com project in 1997. Registration, creation personal Profile, Friends Search, Communication with them - Innovative opportunities for that time.

The usual social networks have become massively emerge from 2003. Linkedin and Facebook start working. Since 2006, classmates and VKontakte have been created in Russia. Since then, the number of resources is constantly increasing, new functions appear in them, which are not only convenient to users for entertainment and communication, but also for doing business.

What are social networks on the Internet

On functionality and features for users, you can segment what social networks are. The following types of social networks can be distinguished for classification by type of content:

Functionality

Options Things to do on resources for communication Mass, but you can highlight the main one. Services allow:

• Communicate - with colleagues, friends, like-minded people and many people who are interested in one or another criteria. It is possible to enroll in interest groups, to get acquainted for certain purposes, share personal information with all or selected resource visitors.
• Search for people (according to certain parameters, such as educational institutions, jobs, city of residence), companies and goods that are offered for sale through communication sites.
• Share news - media, news agencies have their own pages. Event information can be added by all participants.
• Resting - this is facilitated by a lot of diverse content, a fee or free posted on the portal: movies, games, music.
• Learn - educational programs, lessons, materials and tips of other people allow you to get useful information In different spheres of life. Learn how to prepare, master the grammatical subtleties of another language, visit the master classes for making useful items with their own hands, hone to the skills of owning technician or computer programs - All this is abundant.
• Store files, share them.
• Find a job or employee - professional networks are designed to exchange experiences, development of business relations, search for vacancies from employers.
• Organize joint access to documents - it was never so easy to work on one task! Borders, time difference, other factors are leveled common access, the ability to comment and edit materials.

Causes of popularity

A great interest in sites for communication, which is observed in recent years, quite explain. Among the main reasons:

Regardless of which social networks are, users are increasingly aware of the hidden threats from their use. And we are not only about depending on the computer or other gadget, although the time spent is valuable. Where worse, and sometimes more dangerous, the fact that personal life circumstances become known to a wide range of people. The most intentions are not always honest. We give only some examples:

• Apartment thieves can find out the time of a long lack of owners of an apartment or a house on a bright photo from vacation.
• For the abduction of the child will play information about parents who convince the baby to believe that a person really knows mom or dad.
• Choose a potential victim easier, making sure the material consistency of a person on information from open sources.
• Groups are created for adolescents who pushed to suicide.

It becomes frequent practiced when before taking a job, HR-staff browsing the pages of a potential candidate, wanting to learn more about him, habits and a circle of communication. Candid photos, aggressive posts, support for extremism and other moments can play a negative role in both employment and career.

Personal data leaks, manipulation of the audience, hacking accounts with subsequent use are becoming increasingly. And even the giants in this area are not insured against such trouble. All this makes it think about publishing on resources and who give access to viewing, teaches to observe minimum requirements Care on the network.

Trends and prospects

Report for 2017 WE ARE Social and Hootsuite shows a convincing growth of users in social resources. With a general population of about 7.5 billion people, registered in various applications over 3 billion. Daily occurs 1 million new registrations. And growing the number of sites on sites with mobile devices - Almost 90% of visitors use smartphones and tablets, not stationary computers.

At the same time, if a couple of years ago, it was possible to quickly recognize the news and events from the life of real people, now the situation is changing at the root. Advertising appears, posts about the "quotes", motivators and another general Information. And this is not so close, close and familiar community. The level of trust falls, which means to sell something becomes more difficult.

New and new startups appear, which, although not shifted Facebook soon from the leader's position, but will attract part of the audience. Planning a marketing campaign is required attentive and with a preliminary analysis of the selected resource, product and target audience.

Forecasts are reduced to the fact that active growth will slow down and the Boom of social network will fall. Do not give up the usual web portal in favor of only Facebook, VK page or other network. The usual Internet and sites will remain on a par with societies.

Therefore, the growth of the popularity of the social network in the near future is inevitable.

In Russia, this newest social network is not yet very well known, very few Russian-speaking pages that are interested in can be sent to register only in English-language analogues. Although positive changes in the development of the social network are obvious. It can be seen that these topics are not alien to these topics. Many parents are interested in learn about the methods of raising children and adolescents abroad. They are happy, in turn, will share their experience.

Social network sharing Pinterest

Not all social networks are focused only on personal Pages. For example, Pinterest is a social network with specialized filling. Pinterest (in the Russian version of "Pinter") - the site is often positioned as a social network where users have the opportunity to place photographs. The resource is designed in the form of a "cork board" on which it is possible to create sets of images, divide them by topics.

In fact, it is a domestic analogue of a foreign thumb. On the site you can communicate, as well as support friends, make decisions with them and recognize the results of their actions.

Social Internet sites appear very quickly and in large quantities, providing the need for individualization to communicate and socialization. We do not want to repeat the creators of web resources, and it does not make sense - no one wants to go to the accessories to the accessories, users will remain loyal to familiar social networks. Therefore, developers are constantly looking for something new: new features, new features and new design. And not just new, but radically different. Only so you can interest users.

Undoubtedly, do not forget about the list of social networks, which have long been popular. These are familiar to all classmates, Vkontakte, Facebook. Numerous user groups are regularly communicated here.

• Conversations or chats - this correspondence is created by the same principle as the dialogues, but you can add an unlimited number of people to it;
• Comment - the comment can be left under any photos, microblog records, etc., if it does not disable such an opportunity;
• Microblogs, walls and other services for posting your account, which see all your friends (or defined by their list, depending on the settings);
