With the advent of social networking sites the people all around the globe have started to create their accounts on such sites. A person can stay connected with his or her friends and relatives. All a person has to do is open an account on that site. There are various social networking sites that are available to the people. Hence there is a competition among the networking sites as to who can attract most users. Thus they provide various facilities to their users so that they can impress the users. There are sites like facebook, orkut, twitter, my space etc. All these networking sites aim at getting maximum users. The users of these social networks can chat with their friends and relatives. Since the launch of such sites the world gradually seems to be very small place to live in.
The reason behind this is that a user of these sites can become a friend of someone who is using the site from another part of the world. For example a person who has an account n Facebook can become a friend of a girl who is also a user of Facebook and lives in Brazil. Thus with the help of these sites one can make many friends from any part of the world. In order to keep the users enthralled these sites offer various social network widgets also. One problem or disadvantage that the users of the networking sites do not enjoy at all is the leaking of private information. This often leads to the user getting anonymous call which most of the users do not like to entertain.
One of the chief reasons behind this is the fact that while opening an account at any networking site a person has to give his or her detailed information for example date of birth, place of birth, address etc. Of all the information the most misused one is the contact number. The contact number of the user by some means reach some companies who then continue annoying the user with several calls. These calls are made by various companies and through these calls they pester the user to buy something or the other. Thus many people have complained that ever since they started using a social networking site they have been receiving anonymous call . These are some demerits of the social networks and the network companies are well aware of that.
So in order to keep the users attracted they introduce several social network widgets that the users can use and enjoy many benefits. Like for the bloggers there are widgets like bookmarking. A user might have noticed that there are appearance of several special icons at the end of the articles and posts at various web sites and blogs.
If one clicks a definite icon then the user you will be by design redirected to the respective social network or to the respective bookmarked service so that the person can share the web page of his or her choice with the other users all around the globe, one can also add it to social bookmarks.
