Social networks in Slovenia


The results of the survey on social networks and of individual interviews with various students and some grown-ups show that Facebook is definitely the most popular social network. Facebook is also the most popular social network in our class – all students from our class have a Fb account. According to the survey, there are also quite a few Twitter and Instagram users, but not as many as Fb users.
Young people use Fb and other social networks for communication - to chat with friends, for sharing photos and for studying. Grown-ups (our teachers, parents) still prefer e-mails for communication, Gmail is the most popular, and not all of them have a Fb account or something similar.In Slovenia, there are a lot of students who come from ex-Yugoslav republics and have relatives in Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia,… and they all claim that they mostly use Fb and also Skype for communication with their relatives.In the last few months, snapchat has become very popular among our classmates and other students of our school. It's an application with which you send a photo to someone who is your friend and you have added them and then they can see that photo for 10 seconds.It seems that in our class there are not any real Fb addicts, but generally we could say that there are many teenagers in Slovenia who tend to spend too much time on Fb. Our classmates are also aware of the dangers of social networks, but maybe they just think so.
What is it like in your country? What social networks are most popular?
