Abstract :
The social networking sites are places that allow people to share ideas, objectives and values. The challenge for social networking sites has been to keep its services available and functioning properly in order to serve its users and attract new ones. The objective of this research is to present a comparative study of the solutions found by Social Networks - Facebook, MySpace and Twitter - to investigate similarities or differences in the logical architecture of these systems. Such analysis is particularly relevant for those seeking more information on system architecture to meet a great demand of users.
