Social Networking - Fanpop

There are various social networking websites to be found on the internet for example the facebook, esnips, friendster, youtube,the fanpop and many others. For my review I choose the fanpop because I am impress with the appearance of the website that greets me. It looks simple yet full of intresting topics such as the latest updates on the movies, tv series, best selling books, articles on Arts and Culture, gardening, Science and Technology. This list of topics goes on and on and the best part is that despite the long list of topics available and your favourite topic is still not included, you can create your own Spot and contribute your ideas and opinions .


What is a Spot? Fanpop is broken down into small units call Spots and these Spots are created by the members. For example you are a big fan of fishing and you cannot find any articles on fishing then create a spot on fishing . All you need is some write up on fishing, pictures and your own trademark or banner. Your pictures and banners do not have to be of any particular size as the fanpop system takes what you load and make it fit. It takes about five minutes to create and you need not be a technical expert to do it. You can now write whatever you want on the topics and invite your friends to contribute ideas or tips. You will also get responses from people with the same interest. Should you decide against being a member of a fanpop, it is ok because you can still take advantages of all the information contributed by other members. The language used is simple and easy to understand.

I like gardening and most of my free time is spent in my tiny garden. Browsing the articles on gardening, I am able to get endless information on how to to grow various plants from roses to hisbiscus, the most suitable fertilizer to use or even the number of times I need to water the plant. Watching televison is my other passion and fan pop will publish the latest televison series, gossips about the actors, actresses and what other fans think of the show. I can contribute my opinion if I want to.

I don't know how long my interest in this website will last but for the time being I am just happy that I have found a website that suits my present needs.
