Tuenti

Most young people around the world use Facebook to keep in touch with friends. Tuenti is an online Spanish social network that works just like Facebook, but isn't international.

I found out about it not long ago and joined in. This network includes lots of useful applications to communicate with your friends and family. Stuff like sending messages, sharing photos and events and viewing videos you can do for free on this website.

The name Tueti actually comes from "tu entidad" (in Spanish), which means your identity. It's quite easy to join the community, but you need an invitation from someone who's already joined.

The first thing you need when you join in is a profile. It's a good idea not to give too much information about yourself or use your complete name for safety reasons. After that uploading photos is easy, you just have to browse them and mark everyone on them. Soon people will start conversations starting from the photographs you've uploaded and you can either join in or chuck people out, it's all part of the fun. One of the important goals in this community is knowing new people and making new friends.
