In the wide world of social networks today, many different platforms offer various levels of integration with offsite applications. Some social networks don't integrate very well, while others have taken steps to ensure maximum integration with as many apps as possible.

The growth in new microblogging platforms and the seemingly endless supply of new social networks makes things all the more confusing to the average user looking to find out what works where and what doesn't. The good news is that as the social networks continue to evolve and expand, there are more offsite apps that can be worked with to help add that extra feature or service you've been looking for.

On the one hand, you have sites such as Facebook that don't offer integration with many offsite applications. Of course Facebook has a wide variety of tools, widgets and apps within the site that you can add to your page or that you can use to help utilize Facebook elsewhere. However, the microblogging tools, and full spectrum of other applications have not been integrated into the core service itself.

On the other hand, the ubiquitous microblogging platform Twitter is helping to lead the charge of social networks integrating with other platforms and applications that are not their own. This makes it easy for people to use the tools they want to use, and experience the site and service in the way that they'd like. Users can enjoy any number of apps such as the popular TweetDeck and SocialOomph services.

Of course, just when you think the world of social networks has stabilized, something new comes into the water to shake things up. Before Twitter it was Facebook, and before Facebook it was MySpace. Before MySpace it was a variety of other services and sites such as Friendster. The point is that nothing is ever the permanent "number 1", there is always something else around the corner that promises to be new and improved. The services that survive are the ones that evolve with the times as well.

Now though, there are new social networks coming up that offer further integration than what users find in those popular sites today. Some of these new services offer not just integration with other applications and services, but also integration with the other main social networks as well. Services like this which promise microblogging functionality, integration with apps, connectivity with Facebook and Twitter and more will be the next wave to really capture the hearts and minds of trendy and savvy Internet users.

If you're already neck deep in the world of social networks, just remember to keep your eyes open for the next and latest services. With more apps and platforms being created all of the time, the best social networks such feature full integration with them and core services such as microblogging. When you can get everything you want from one main service, than you can save yourself time and energy and maximize the fun you have online.
