Bebo is a social networking website that takes a number of features from various social networking sites. Most of Bebo is similar to a Facebook and MySpace hybrid. There are customizable personal pages created by the user. Video, slideshows, and music media players can be attached to the personal pages along with profile data, pictures. The user can receive messages from other Bebo users on there own personal message board.

Analysis
 * Bebo seems to be a smaller scale Facebook and MySpace. It seems a little more personal because of the easily accessible homepage that allows the user to get to know Bebo and begin to trust the site better. In a site such as Facebook, there is no homepage accessible without user login. Bebeo gives you the freedom to learn about the site and make your own decision based on onsite information.
 * Bebo actually gives some public face to its site. You actually have access to information on the creators of the web site. It seems less corporate and more friendly.
 * Personal user pages or a hodgepodge of features. Its a little messy.
