There are many social networking websites like Myspace, Facebook, Orkut.com etc. The main types of social networking services are those which contain directories of some categories, means to connect with friends and recommender systems linked to trust. Social networking services allow users to create a profile for themselves, and can be broken down into two broad categories namely internal social networking (ISN)and external social networking (ESN) sites, such as Myspace, Facebook and Bebo. An ISN is a private community that consists of a group of people within a company, association, society, education provider and organization or even an "invite only" group created by a user in an ESN. An ESN is open and available to all web users to communicate and are designed to attract advertisers. Hi5 is also a social networking website, which, throughout 2007, was one of the 25 most visited sites on the web. In hi5, users create an online profile in order to show information such as interests, age and hometown. They can upload user pictures where users can post comments. Hi5 also allows the user to create personal photo albums and set up a music player in the profile. Users can also send friend requests via e-mail to other users. When a person receives a friend request, he or she may accept or decline it, or block the user altogether. While hi5 maintains its strong hold in Central America, it faces tough competition in Asia from many social networking sites. Hi5.com comes in first ten ranking in Alexa.com.
