صدها شبکه اجتماعی با کاربردها و دستهبندیهای متفاوت وجود دارد که بسیاری از آنها تخصصی بوده و توانستهاند متخصصین را به دور هم جمع کنند. برخی دیگر از این شبکههای اجتماعی به لحاظ موضوع و علایق افراد دستهبندی شدهاند و تمرکز آنها بر روی یک مورد خاص است. برخی دیگر به لحاظ خدماتدهی متفاوتند، به عنوان مثال بوک مارکینگ هستند و یا خدماتی را به لحاظ بیزینسی به شرکتهای تجاری میدهند و برخی دیگر هم کاملاً عمومی است که معروفترین آنها فیسبوک و توییتر و گوگل پلاس و … میباشند.
استفاده از شبکههای اجتماعی میتواند فقط جنبه سرگرمی نداشته باشد. آموزش، همفکری و مشورت، انجام پروژههای گروهی، تحقیقات میدانی و حتی تبلیغات و بازاریابی میتواند دلیل استفاده شما از یک شبکه اجتماعی باشد. هر شبکه اجتماعی علاوه بر نکات فنی و طریقه استفادههای متفاوتی که دارد، به نوعی فرهنگ استفاده خاص خود را نیز دارد که دانستن آنها به رسیدن شما به مقصودتان بسیار کمک میکند.
