The 10 Best Social Networking Apps by JayKayMaybachz(m): 11:07am On Apr 02, 2015
Thanks to social networking apps, it's never been easier to keep in contact with your friends.

Many of the best social networking apps out there have been around for a while, but as smartphones get smarter, so do the apps, and you can now do more than ever.

From fan favorites like Instagram and Facebook to newcomers like Hinge or Secret, there's never been a better time to find a social network that's tailored to your tastes.




1. [size=14]WhatsApp is a simple way to message for free.[/size]



There's a reason Facebook acquired WhatsApp for $19 billion earlier last year, and that's because WhatsApp is exactly what every messaging app should aim to be. It's designed well, free to use (even for international messaging), has a thriving user base, and lets you send texts, voice messages, pictures, and videos.

Price: Free (iOS, Android, Windows Phone)


2. [size=14]Vine is a creative way to share 6-second looping videos.[/size]



Vine lets you splice together clips that play on a loop and share them with your friends. You can edit videos on the spot and post to Twitter and Facebook, and you can now import videos from your phone, too. The community also allows you to find, follow, and interact with other Vine users.

Price: Free (iOS, Android, Windows Phone,)


3. [size=14]Snapchat is the best photo messaging app out there.[/size]



Snapchat began as just an app for sharing self-destructing photos and videos to your friends, but it's quickly evolved into the No. 1 app for visual communication. With its new Stories feature, you can now weave together photos and videos into a visual status of sorts, and you can also send texts from directly within the app.

Price: Free (iOS, Android)


4. [size=14]Secret is a social message for saying what's really on your mind.[/size]



Secret lets you and your friends speak freely with each other and the world, but you'll never know whose secret you're reading. People post and comment anonymously, and you can now easily ask "Yes or No" questions that people can respond to. To help make the text-based posts more beautiful, Secret now gives you access to Flickr's photo library for background images.

Price: Free (iOS, Android)


5. [size=14]There's no better place to share photos than Instagram.[/size]



Instagram is one of our favorite iPhone apps of all time. With over 200 million users and host of photo-editing filters, it's a great place to show off your artistic side and share some photos of your own.

Price: Free

Available on: (iPhone, Android)


6. [size=14]The official Twitter app is a great way to keep up with your tweets on the go.[/size]



Twitter's official app lets you stay on top of your tweets from your phone. Besides that, it offers some unique features that aren't found in third-party apps. For example, you can set specific push notifications for individual accounts so you'll never miss an important bit of news.

Price: Free (iOS, Android, Windows Phone)

7. [size=14]Update your blog on the go with Tumblr.[/size]



Tumblr lets you follow blogs and create simple updates via text, audio, photos, quotes, and video. It's a great way to seamlessly manage your blog while also seeing what other people are interested in.

Price: Free (iOS, Android, Windows Phone)


8. [size=14]LinkedIn is the best network out there for managing your professional connections.[/size]



With over 300 million users, LinkedIn is a great place to network and connect with other professionals. The app is well-designed, syncs with your phone's calendar to help stay on top of meetings, and even lets you view and save recommended jobs. If you're a Premium subscriber, you can also see who has viewed your profile every day, right from your phone's Notification Center.

Price: Free

Available on: (iOS, Android, Windows Phone)


9. [size=14]Stay in touch with your friends and family wherever you are with Facebook.[/size]



Facebook is still the best social network out there for staying in contact with those you care about. Besides letting you see what your friends are up to, you can share updates, photos, and videos on the go, and push notifications quickly alert you to any activity that involves you. You can also play games and use your favorite Facebook apps.

Price: Free (iOS, Android, Windows Phone)


10. [size=14]TapTalk makes it easy to send photos and videos to your friends with a lightning-fast interface.[/size]



TapTalk is a personal messaging app that's all about speed. By arranging your friend icons in a grid-like layout, you can quickly tap their picture to capture a photo. To send a video, just hold down their icon to record, and release when you're done.

Price: Free (iOS, Android)

Well the one i know is a very naughty, adult sex related site, where most people can be as kinky, free, fun and wild as possible and not get bashed or insulted like it happens on here, the only way most guys and people in general insult girls here is usually through sex related words, immature in my view tho.
