Www.metroflog.com is what I consider a way to meet people while you watch their photos and put comments above each of them. Actually, that's the reason why these kind of photo sharing sites have become so popular in the last few years. We have a lot of examples as Fotolog, Flickr and Photobucket.com.
Metroflog's environment
Since the first moment the site offers you the opportunity to meet new people, who can be interesting for you, offering you some user lists. These are the following: newest, most visited and random Metroflog profiles (sometimes called Metros). Only mark one of them for watching what they contain. Being more accurate, marking that you will enter in the profile of some person which is becoming popular thanks to this site.
How to become a member there? There is not a marked difference between how to start being a Metroflog's user and some other social network member. The site provides a Sing up tab that displays a new screen for filling some spaces with personal information. These are, username, password, email, among others. With your own profile you can add as many photos as you like and then watching them and the ones of the others. Each profile has the following shape: current image at the center, favorites at the right side and recent pictures at the left side.

To log in using Messengerfx is exactly the same than doing it in the Hotmail web page. So, you need to bring your Windows Live ID, or MSN email address, without forgetting to give the password too. Then, you have to wait some moments while the page charges, and you will see a new screen with a contacts list. This one has almost the same appearance that the original Windows Live Messenger contact list. Even the colors are kind of the ones which you can see in the one of Microsoft.

Www.myspace.com - Show what you are!
What are you doing now? What’s your status? These are some of the questions whose answers you can publish in your personal Myspace profile. Myspace.com is, according to its millions of users, one of the most popular social networking sites. I am in favor of this affirmation because there I have met lots of friends; in addition, I met a girl in Myspace who became my girlfriend later. So, trust it: you can meet really nice people in social networks, and even establish a formal relationship with someone.
The personal profile looks so simple at the beginning (immediately after you created it), but this page can be modified a lot. In order to personalize the profile you can add images, backgrounds, applications and comments. But, there is one option inside the Profile tab that is called Personalize which really allows you modify in a great way the shape of your personal page. Using this tool you can modify both the aspect of your profile and the respective modules of the page. It converts your page in a Profile 2.0. This aspect is not included in so visited and used social sites like Facebook or Hi5. The truth is that each social networking site has its own style. If not, the page will not be popular.

Www.facebook.com - Publish your life style in short messages
Www.facebook.com is a social networking site. The page receives you with a World Map which shows the places in which exist Facebook users. As can be seen there, Facebook connects people from all over the World. In the same screen where the map is it’s shown a box for signing up. In that box appear the following requirements: full name, email address, password, gender, and birthday. Once this basic step is complete or if you already have a Facebook account, you can access your personal profile marking the Login tab in the upper right corner of the main screen. Of course, you need to provide your email address and password before you click the Login button.
Basically, Facebook is quite similar to all the other social networks. I mention this because there you can add pictures, personal information, and also search people and send and receive messages. However, the first time I managed my profile there and browse between its options, I found some differences comparing Facebook with MySpace and Hi5. The main difference is the environment of the site, which is characterized by a white background color. In addition, there you don’t send the same type of comments which are sent to Hi5 and MySpace friends. That happens because in Facebook you don’t use codes to send that kind of messages. Most of the time, people send there applications and other kind of stuff.
The options which Facebook gives you to manage your profile and also to do other actions are the next ones: my profile, my friends, my photos, my groups, my events, my messages, my account, and my privacy.

Www.yahoo.com - A reliable search engine
Yahoo is a combination of breaking news, email service and websites searcher. Yahoo’s main screen shows us the Yahoo logo, in the upper side of the page, followed by search tools. These are a blank space for placing keywords, a web search button to start the respective search, and some tabs: web, images, local, video, shopping, and more. As most of the other searchers do, Yahoo brings the mentioned tools for finding what really wants to be found. If a person wants to see only images or videos, and not websites, those tools are really necessary. A search using Yahoo takes only a few moments.
As I mentioned in the first line of this entry, Yahoo is also an email service. In fact, is one of the oldest email services and has changed a lot among the years. For example, some years ago there were only possible to save a little amount of email messages, but now you can save a great number of them, even if each message contents videos, presentations or galleries. For using the Yahoo mail service you have to enter in the Yahoo.com website and then mark the mail tab. Once this action is done you will see your inbox, drafts, send, spam and trash folders. Also, there is a Welcome message in the center of the screen and some relevant news.
Yahoo has an useful selection of services. These are listed at the left side of Yahoo’s website, and some of them are: Yellow pages, Answers, Finance, Cars, Music and Groups.
