Tuenti is a website directed to the young Spanish people. It was created in 2006, by Zaryn Dentzel, an American student that now lives in Madrid. He came to Spain and some years later he created tuenti . First, it was directed to the people of a university of Granada, but after its success he decided to publish it. At present, tuenti is one of the most visited webs in Spain. You can have your own account only if somebody sends you an invitation.
What things can you do in this website? You can speak with other people, put photos or images about yourself and your family or friends, videos,... *and you can make comments about the photographs and write about other people´s tuenties. I made myself one member of tuenti because a friend sent me an invitation; I thought it was interesting and accepted. In my opinion, it should be for all the people around the world, not only for Spanish people.
