Research Paper - Social network websitesfaberNovel Consulting issues a new Research Paper on best practices from leading social network websites 
Online social networks and meeting platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn or Meetic are currently developing at a frantic pace. These companies have been reporting two or three-digit growth rates and most of them have launched intensive acquisition campaigns in the last two years or are now being targeted by major media groups. The sector is beginning to structure itself around some key players, which have succeeded in becoming the reference platform within their field, as the result of their innovations and positioning. Social networks have numerous specificities. A company’s ability to identify and understand these specificities, and offer suitable answers, results in major success within this field. Today, this sector appears mature enough to enable a study of the market’s leading firms’ development in order to identify their “best practices” and to propose a specific framework analysis for each type of website. faberNovel Consulting, a member of the French association Silicon Sentier has taken the first step by presenting a study on social network websites. This study formulates the basic concepts of social networks and also analyses online matchmaking websites and business network websites. This third research paper is distributed under the Creative Commons license to allow for further contributions by other specialists and web users in the coming months, due to expected major industry moves.
