Lista de comunidades virtuais com mais de 1 milhão de utilizadores

This text primarily focuses on the concept of ‘Virtual Communities’. A virtual community^[1] refers to a social network^[2] of individuals who interact through specific redes sociais^[3] platforms, primarily on the internet^[5], rather than face to face, and enable wider, more diverse, and dispersed communication networks to form. These communities can be categorized based on various factors like interests, education, and region. These platforms often have a global reach, with some boasting more than a billion users, such as Facebook^[4]. Besides social networking, virtual communities also exist for educational purposes, like Edmodo, or based on specific interests like Flixster for movie enthusiasts. Certain platforms are region-specific, popular mostly in certain countries or regions. The interaction in these communities may be for various purposes, but they’re built and sustained by a common interest or goal.
