Without being an excellent tool for promoting companies and products, mainly aimed at a target of young people. A great wave of social networks, has joined Bebo, a network is not very popular in Spanish-speaking countries, but equally we must talk about it because it is well known in Northern America and English-speaking countries.
This network of social games (Blog early, blog often) was created in 2005 by a married couple (Michael Birch and Xochi Birch), and although some had in its early popularity was the purchase by AOL in 2008 which has since been very successful in United States and more popular in other countries like the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, but also has followers in other countries in different languages such as Poland, France, Germany, Holland and Italy to Spain.

Bebo, with characteristics very similar in their functioning and tools with other popular social networks like Facebook or MySpace to name a few. We refer to when you sign up you can share photos, videos, music, hobbies, interests, blogs, and other friends. However, Bebo’s interface can save some differences with its competitors. For example, the user profile is divided into two sections, one devoted to comments by friends and the other is a list of friends. What makes this particular profile is the privacy it enjoys, that is, not everyone can see the profile of the user, the user can place restrictions, such as age for those who view your profile. Strange, but practical. Do not you think?
