Virtually Here

With over 40 million registered users Bebo (Blog Early, Blog Often) is a social networking giant. It is in fact the biggest social networking site in several countries including the UK and New Zealand and in the US it’s only surpassed, in number of registered users, by MySpace and FaceBook. A rather impressive achievement for this two year old company.

AOL caught on to the site’s growing popularing and in an unsuspected move they went ahead and purchased it in March 13, 2008 for a staggering 850 million dollars.

With that sort of financial backing BeBo is now positioned to take further steps in closing the gap between themselves and MySpace/FaceBook.

BeBo does have a number of features that makes them attractive to the socializing users of the internet. At the site you have access to photo-/video uploading, game playing, share and listen to music, create and join groups, ‘draw’ on other users whiteboard (which is a rather novel concept for online interactions)  - you can even buy a spot of ‘land’ on the BeBo Nation map to even further your online exposure.

The profile pages are very reminiscent of what you’ll find on other sites of the same nature but the add-ons and features are what have attracted and kept millions of users faithful to the site.

It won’t turn your world upside down but if you’re getting bored with your current site(s) give it a try - it may hold some features that appeal to you and the 15,000 people following you.
