In the article about social networking, it tells how an opportunity has opened up for new sharing websites. New social networks are offering a range of restrictions. One, Path, has a limit of 150 friends. There are also no privacy settings to adjust because you should only frind your friends. Everyone else is out. Another, FamilyLeaf is restricted to only family members. It was created to communicate with distant loved ones without having to worry about misdirected messgaes. Finally, Pair is for smartphones only and is restrcited to only one other person. It is used to send text messages, pictures and videos. Also, the two users can simultaneously create a drawing. On the other hand, the average Facebook user has 245 friends. Now that all these new sites are being released, the popularity of other social networks is decreasing.
