There are lots of social networking sites as Facebook and Twitter, but where is the one of Google? Www.orkut.com is there to satisfy the necessities of all the Gmail users which want a social network 100% compatible with their e-mail.
In Orkut users use the name that they provided to be displayed in their Gmail email messages as their username or nickname. In addition, it is possible to chat with online friends connected in Gmail and Google Talk (it appears a chat box in the lower right corner).

There are also other common tools as the one to add photos and videos, and other very original options like the tab to create scraps which will be part of an scrapbook. Each scrap is visible in the main screen of the profile.

Igoogle.com is a version of the most popular Web search engine, Google, in which users can perform searches as well as manage a variety of Gadgets. For instance, people can chat, have access to the last news, look at the weather conditions, watch the hour and post entries in their blogs.

Www.hotmail.com - Email service and much storage capacity
Www.hotmail.com is an electronic mail service, and it’s managed by Microsoft —the same company that created Windows—. Entering Hotmail’s service is as easy as entering Google or Yahoo websites. First, the user has to type in his or her browser www.hotmail.com but also www.msn.com or www.bing.com have links to Hotmail. In these last two sites there is a link in the upper side of each page.
Well, once the user is inside the Hotmail inbox —this page is also called Windows Live Hotmail— there is a little window in which two blank spaces are displayed. One has to be filled with the Windows Live Id and the other one with the respective password. With this short action completed it’s the time to watch the Windows Live Hotmail screen. This page has the main options at the left side and in the middle there is a welcome title followed by the updates of the user’s contacts. The main options side which I mentioned before are the following:
Inbox: there are all those messages which the user wants to receive.
Junk: there are all those messages which are spam or email messages that the user doesn’t want to read.
Drafts: there are both complete and incomplete email messages which were written by the user but that he or she hasn’t sent yet.
Sent: there are all the sent email messages.
Deleted: there remain the deleted email messages.
Although other email services (Gmail and Yahoo mail) have a great audience, Hotmail continues improving its technology and features and increasing its amount of registered users. For sure Internet users will continue enjoying this important email service for a long time.
