They use so many websites that it can be overwhelming to keep track of them. Here are some of the more popular sights that Gen Y are visiting and using on a daily basis:
-Facebook: An online network open to the public. One can make up their own profile, which includes a picture, name, birthdate, interests, etc. They can then search for other friends in their network or outside of their network if they have a facebook. One can add people they know or random people as their “friends”.
-Twitter: Twitter is a social networking site, where you can update your status about what you are doing/thinking at the time or look/reply to someone else’s status.
