Creating a list of social networks that occupy leading positions in the world ranking, experts identified ten services that managed to collect a record audience in their open spaces. In global projects, there are a variety of people living in different countries, professing different religions, differing from each other in terms of income, social status, age, interests, etc.

For several years now, the fast and modern Facebook has been confidently occupying a leading position in all ratings. The site has already become the most popular and widespread project of this type in the world, but the number of users continues to increase every day, striving for the number of all mobile device owners. The quality of FB is also growing - new tools and features are regularly introduced, work is accelerated, integration with smartphones is improved.
Google+
It would be inadmissible not to include in our list of social networks this one, which unites millions of Google account holders. Any person who has registered an e-mailon the service of a popular search engine, can easily connect to Google+. The project is constantly evolving, and now, in terms of the abundance of functions and capabilities, the service is practically not inferior to the leader - Facebook. So, most recently, developers have provided users with the ability to create group video chats.
The list of social networks that are most popular, Twitter was not accidental. After all, this is the most convenient service for publishing short messages. Twitter provides its users with tools for posting photos and videos, and almost everyone uses it, including influential politicians and world show business stars.

This is a true paradise for photography lovers. Not so long ago, Instagram was taken over by Facebook, but so far it looks like an independent project. Every day, millions of new photos appear on the pages of the site, processed using beautiful bright filters. Users are happy to rate and comment on new publications.
Foursquare
Without Foursquare, the list of social networks would be incomplete. This service provides an opportunity to communicate with friends online, but its "trick" is not at all in this. By registering on the site, you register at a specific location on the map. And by adding friends, you get the opportunity to follow their movement and meet if possible.
Tumblr
One of the fastest growing social networks inInternet. It operates on the principle of a blog, which ensures its fast work and huge popularity among users. You get the opportunity to maintain your own online journal, as well as view news and interesting publications from other members.
What do we have?
So, let's continue to make a list that includes the best social networks. In recent years, Russia has issued several promising projects at once, which have every chance of breaking into the world TOP. So, more and more attendance records are being beaten by the VKontakte website. In addition to limitless opportunities for communication (including via webcam), VKontakte users have access to a huge number of communities of various topics and directions, the largest libraries of video and audio recordings in Runet. In addition, the Odnoklassniki and My World projects from Mail.ru attract attention with many interesting features and ease of use.

Specialized social networks
We wouldn't even have enough pages to even list all the social networks in the world. After all, in this case, the list would also include thousands of not too large-scale, but interesting projects that allow people of a narrow circle to communicate with each other. For example, many researchers, scientists and those who are simply interested in science use the Academia.edu website with great pleasure. And, for example, the CafeMom service allows young mothers to communicate and find a lot of interesting and useful information. Christians toothere is a social network called Cross.tv.
Every year more and more similar projects appear on the Internet, and therefore finding like-minded people or advertising your product to those who will be really interested in buying it is easier than ever these days.
