http://politiko.ua/How many romantic love stories are there that develop into something more or end in marriage but begin on social networks? I will answer - there are few of them. And those that started on dating sites and ended in a happy family life? But here there is something to talk about! And such a difference is only because these sites have different purposes. It wouldn’t occur to you to go to an ophthalmologist with a sore throat, would it? And you don’t go to the pharmacy for groceries either. So why is it surprising that dating on social networks has low effectiveness? Let's talk in detail about how social networks and dating sites are similar and different.
Websites have different purposes.
Each of these two areas of communication have been created quite a long time ago. But not only are they not “siblings,” they are not even “relatives” at all. Who do we usually communicate with on social networks? That's right - with family, friends, classmates, fellow students, work colleagues and even neighbors. Decorously and nobly, exposing to everyone only acceptable standards of behavior. Family photos with landscapes of sea breezes and mountain peaks, children's matinees, school holidays, work corporate parties (or rather, only a decent part of them). We politely tell our friends about our successes at school or work, we take an interest in the health of our relatives and expect the same from them. We know all these people. It doesn’t matter whether it’s good or not, but we know. While you have never met people on a dating site before. Here you can show yourself from a more advantageous side. Post more photos, allow yourself more relaxed communication, do not hesitate, tell about yourself what you consider necessary. Why? Because modesty adorns a person only in real life, but in virtual life, courage is the key to success. Remember, as the legendary Soviet actor said: “I see the goal, I see no obstacles.” That’s how it is here: no one will judge, everyone knows why they came.
What is time spent on?
According to open statistical sources, it turns out that users of the social network VKontakte spend only 19 minutes on the site’s pages. In Odnoklassniki - 18 minutes, and on Facebook even less - 17 minutes. And of all this time, the lion’s share is spent listening to music, watching videos, or online games s. Communications are reduced to a minimum, but there are plenty of ways to entertain your loved one. This is great, you need to pamper yourself, but after all the entertainment there will be no time left to communicate with other people. Yes, you can still have time to exchange a few phrases with friends, but you definitely won’t have enough time for an interesting conversation with a stranger. And don’t forget that strangers also go on social networks, basically for the same thing, so it will be difficult for them to find time for you. So, most likely, you simply will not be noticed.
What happens on dating sites? Have you ever wondered why there is no video or audio entertainment here, and why you can’t find games here either? Professional dating sites do not specifically provide such opportunities, because... they distract people from the main goal - communication and getting to know each other. People came to the dating site to chat. They rate and comment on photos and send each other likes. And this is what you really need for effective dating. Videos and online games will not help you get to know a person. After all, “live” communication is much more interesting, which is why most of the site’s visitors are constantly online. Of course, this statement cannot be applied to all dating sites - we are talking only about the audience of really high-quality sites where truly comfortable conditions for dating have been created for people. Such a site, of course, is. According to our statistics, on average each user visits the site 4 times a day, and the average duration of stay on the site is 23 minutes. You don’t need to be an academic to calculate the daily time allotted to communication by each user – about an hour and a half. As you can see, this figure is much higher than on social networks, and at the same time no one is distracted by entertainment such as watching videos or online games. And he devotes all his time only to direct communication. Simple, effective, useful. And as popular wisdom says, if you want to get to know a person, communicate.
The difference is in the manner of communication.
Option one: he will think that you are a robot - spam and will block you;
Option two: he will decide that you are a little crazy, because acquaintance was not part of his plans at all;
Option three: in a rude manner, he will make it clear that he is not interested in communicating with you.
Marvelous? Not at all! Everything should have its place. So social networks have their own. They have firmly occupied this niche and your intervention is completely inappropriate. The person you are trying to meet may have been married for a long time, happy, absolutely satisfied with everything in this life, and your obsessive behavior may be regarded as bad manners. At the same time, you didn’t do anything wrong, you just came to the wrong address.
Another thing is a dating site. Here people are open to communication (that's what they came here for), they are eager to meet new people. They appreciate the attention; your courage and perseverance will be appreciated. Even if you are embarrassed to write something at first, then certainly no one forbids you to send sympathy. And this is already half the battle, so you can consider that you already have a new acquaintance “in your pocket.” “Here and now” is the main motto of the dating site. And the moderators have already created comfortable conditions for this. Therefore, you won’t have to wait long for an answer; rest assured, they will definitely pay attention to you.
Checking and adapting website profiles.
What will be your reaction if a fairy-tale monster or Angelina Jolie suddenly appears on your colleague’s avatar? Definitely neutral. Well, I did it well. On social networks, site administrations do not check the authenticity of uploaded photos, so the hero of any popular cartoon can safely decorate the user’s page. And when it comes to “old” acquaintances, this does not bother us at all. But are you ready to meet a person if, instead of his face, it’s Donald Duck, for example, who is looking at you? Probably not likely.
That is why self-respecting dating sites have a large number of specially trained people on their staff who check the uniqueness of all photos added by users around the clock. On a dating site, you won’t see a kitten or Brad Pitt on your avatar. There are only real photos of real people here. Agree, it is very important to see real photographs of the person with whom you communicate and get to know each other. And all the rest, for example those belonging to another person, the moderators will track and will not miss the publication.
Now about the content of the questionnaires. What information about a person can be gleaned from a profile on a social network? Age, place of residence, education and, possibly, place of work. But nothing more is needed, because the site implies that you know everyone present in real life and there is no need to talk about his habits or character. If you meet in the evening over a cup of tea (even if not often), you will fully appreciate whether higher education has benefited him.
Is this information enough to meet a new person, especially if it is assumed that everything will not end with simple correspondence? Of course not. All the little things and nuances are important here: zodiac sign, character traits, habits, food preferences, and finally, the purpose of dating. After all, it’s these little things that make up the first impression of a person. Each of us, when deciding to register on a dating site, has already drawn an image of his future life partner and understands exactly what nuances he is ready to put up with and which he will never allow in his life.
Now let’s assume that on a social network, someone did provide such information about themselves. How to find such a person? No way! Looking through millions of profiles is unrealistic. A dating site is another matter - here such parameters are initially included in the search. And if you want to meet, for example, girls who are 25 years old and just born under the sign of Libra, and who just want to start a family in the city of Pskov, in half a minute you will receive a whole list of contenders for your heart. Convenient, logical, fast. The administration of the dating site understands why you are here, and therefore creates the most favorable conditions possible.
Specialized services.
What tools do you use to attract attention on social networks? You post your photo and wait for your friends to appreciate it, and then, perhaps, their friends will notice it in the news feed and also comment on it in some way. And that's all you can count on. Of course, if the purpose of your stay on the site is only personal entertainment, then this is quite enough. But for dating - nothing at all. A dating site is another matter - professional tools have been developed here that will instantly allow you to attract the attention of hundreds, or even thousands of people potentially interested in you, to your person! Moreover, all services are very easy to use, and their effectiveness exceeds your wildest expectations.
The social network and dating site do an excellent job with the tasks they set themselves. Only their tasks are completely different. If you want to communicate with your friends from life, then no one can help you with this better than social networks. But if you are pursuing the goal of finding new ones or finding the love of your life, then, like no one else, for you - “ best friend"! Good luck to you in choosing priorities and finding your soulmate.
Social media have become an integral part of the life of modern man. Every day, billions of people around the world visit their pages on social networks, exchanging gigabytes of information, communicating, reading news. Gradually, social networks have grown from ordinary sites with people’s profiles and the ability to exchange messages, into huge media platforms, endless repositories of photos, videos, and music content. Now social networks are used by people not only to communicate and exchange information, but also to conduct business, find jobs and employees, purchase and sell services and goods, and, of course, advertise and promote business.

We use them on home computers, from workplaces, on the go - using applications on mobile devices Oh. In today’s article we will discuss what social networks there are, what their focus is, and which of them are the most popular in Russia throughout the world.
What are social networks?
In addition to the well-known ones, there are also very highly specialized social networks, for example, dedicated to a certain type of activity, hobbies or social status. Travelers, hairdressers, cat and dog lovers, mothers, students and even theater workers have their own social networks. Sites dedicated to finding a soul mate and starting a family stand out - there are a great many of them in every country. Recently, the geosocial trend has become fashionable, which led to the creation of the Foursqare network, where users could not only mark their location, but also leave brief descriptions, tips and reviews about places visited, adding your photos. Let's take a quick look at the list of popular diverse Russian social networks.
List of popular Russian social networks for communication

Classmates is considered the first social network in the world. Founded by Randy Conrads in 1995. It operates to this day, being one of the most popular in the USA and Canada. Initially, the site did not provide the ability to create personal profiles; it was possible to contact classmates only through the educational institution.

MySpace – literally translated as “My Space”. Social network founded in 2003. For a long time was the most popular in the USA, but was eventually supplanted by Facebook. After the emancipation, Facebook was rapidly losing users and popularity until 2011, when the very popular singer in the United States, Justin Timberlake, announced his desire to support and revive the once popular site. This led to a surge in registrations and visits to MySpace.

There is still interest in it to this day; the head office is located in Beverly Hills, USA.

A social network is a site through which you can communicate with other users of the resource. On such Internet platforms, you can publish and view information from other registered participants: music, photos and videos, documents, articles, and write comments.
The growing popularity of such portals encourages them to be used not only for personal purposes. Promotion and support of companies, sales of goods and services are the goals of strategies in social marketing (SMM). The key to success is choosing the right network among the many available. Otherwise, spending time and effort searching for the target audience will be useless. What social networks exist on the Internet, how do they differ from each other, and how have they earned popularity among their users? Let's take a closer look.
History of social networks
The first prototype of a communication service was described back in 1837 in a science fiction novel by Vladimir Odoevsky. The theory and principles of creation are set out in the works of mathematicians of the 1950-1960s. In 1954 the term itself appeared. Social networks became a reality with the widespread development of the Internet.
The first similarity was the resource Classmates.com in 1995, where you could find students from different educational institutions. The now more familiar look and functions appeared in the SixDegrees.com project in 1997. Registration, creating a personal profile, finding friends, communicating with them were innovative features for that time.
The now familiar social networks began to appear en masse in 2003. LinkedIn and Facebook are starting to work. Since 2006, Odnoklassniki and VKontakte have been created in Russia. Since then, the number of resources has been constantly increasing, new functions have appeared in them, which are not only convenient for users for entertainment and communication, but also for doing business.
What social networks are there on the Internet?
Based on functionality and opportunities for users, you can segment what types of social networks there are. To classify by content type, the following types of social networks can be distinguished:
Functionality
There are a lot of options for what to do on communication resources, but we can highlight the main ones. Services allow you to:
- Communicate – with colleagues, friends, like-minded people and many people who are interesting according to one or another criteria. You can join interest groups, meet for specific purposes, and share personal information with all or selected visitors to the resource.
- Search – people (according to certain parameters, for example, educational institutions, places of work, city of residence), companies and goods that are offered for sale through communication sites.
- Share news - media outlets and news agencies have their own pages. Information about events can be added by all participants.
- Relaxing - this is facilitated by a lot of varied content posted on the portal for a fee or free of charge: films, games, music.
- Learn – educational programs, lessons, materials and advice from other people allow you to gain useful information in different areas of life. Learn to cook, master the grammatical subtleties of another language, attend master classes on making useful items with your own hands, hone your skills in using technology or computer programs- all this will be found in abundance.
- Store files and share them.
- Find a job or employee - professional networks are created for the exchange of experience, development business connections, searching for vacancies from employers.
- Share documents – working on one task has never been so easy! Borders, time differences, and other factors are leveled out shared access, the ability to comment and edit materials.
Reasons for popularity
The huge interest in communication sites that has been observed in recent years is understandable. Among the main reasons:
Regardless of what kind of social networks there are, users are increasingly aware of the hidden threats from their use. And we’re not just talking about dependence on a computer or other gadget, although the time spent is valuable. Much worse, and sometimes even more dangerous, is the fact that personal life circumstances become known to a wide circle of people. The intentions of the latter are not always honest. Here are just a few examples:
- Apartment thieves can find out when the owners of an apartment or house have been away for a long time by looking at vivid vacation photos.
- For the abduction of a child, information about the parents will play into the hands, which will convince the child to believe that the person really knows mom or dad.
- It is easier to choose a potential victim after making sure of the person’s financial viability using information from open sources.
- Groups are being created for teenagers to encourage suicide.
It is becoming a common practice when, before hiring, HR employees look through the pages of a potential candidate, wanting to learn more about him, his habits and social circle. Explicit photos, aggressive posts, support for extremism and other aspects can play a negative role both in employment and in your career.
Leaks of personal data, manipulation of audiences, hacking of accounts with subsequent use are becoming more and more common. And even the giants in this area are not immune from such troubles. All this makes you think about what to publish on resources and who to give access to view, teaches you to comply minimum requirements Be careful online.
Trends and prospects
A 2017 report from We Are Social and Hootsuite shows compelling user growth on social media. With a total population of about 7.5 billion people, over 3 billion are registered in one application or another. 1 million new registrations occur every day. Moreover, the number of visits to sites from mobile devices is growing - almost 90% of visitors use smartphones and tablets, rather than desktop computers.
At the same time, if a couple of years ago on communication platforms it was possible to quickly find out news and events from the lives of real people, now the situation is radically changing. There are more and more advertisements, posts about cats, motivators and other general information. And this is no longer such a close, intimate and familiar circle of friends. The level of trust drops, which means it becomes more difficult to sell something.
More and more startups are emerging, which, although they will not dislodge Facebook from its leadership position in the near future, will attract part of the audience. Planning a marketing campaign requires more care and a preliminary analysis of the selected resource, product and target audience.
Forecasts are that active growth will slow down and the social media boom will subside. You shouldn’t give up your usual web portal in favor of only a page on Facebook, VK or another network. The familiar Internet and websites will remain on par with social networks.
