The Popularity of Social Network Services
by K.F.

Nowadays, you can contact people from foreign countries by using the Internet. Many people around the world make friends through the Internet. And if you register with a social network service, you can make many friends who live in other countries easily. A social network service (SNS) is an online service where you can share some interesting things or activities and maintain contact with your friends.

However, there are many social network service sites in the world. The bar graph above compares SNS website registration. It shows us that Facebook is the most popular SNS site in the world. Facebook was developed in the USA, so it is popular among English speakers. But this popularity does not extend to Japan. A local SNS service, Mixi, is the most popular in Japan, but it is not globally popular. If you want to make friends who speak English, I recommend you use Facebook.

The Internet has developed and we can easily get in touch with people even if they live in other countries. And we can know what friends are doing through an SNS. It is very convenient for people. However, Internet techniques change rapidly. I think there are many people who cannot keep up with the development of Internet techniques in the world. I am one of them.
