Thread: which is the best social networking site

Facebook and twitter take the cake when it comes to the amount of users they have and the vast reach they have acquired over the years with their smart innovations and marketing.

The following list is a very subjective view of the most important social networking websites. These aren't necessarily the most popular websites for social networking or the oldest websites for social networking, but they are some of the most important websites, particularly for people running self improvement, business- or health-related sites.
1 Facebook.com: Was initially intended for college students -- it branched out, and now allows everyone membership. 500 million members.
2 MySpace.com: 130 million members. This site is massive, boasting the largest membership of any social networking site on the Internet.
3 Linkedin.com: 75 million members -- a powerful tool for business networking.
4 Friendster.com: 90 million members. Friendster was considered the top online social networking service until around April 2004, when it was overtaken by MySpace. Demographic studies indicate users are from 17 to 30 years old.
5 Stumbleupon.com: Boasting over 10 million users, StumbleUpon is a web browser plugin that allows its users to discover and rate webpages, photos, videos, and news articles.
6 Orkut.com: Orkut is an Internet social networking service run by Google.
7 Twitter.com: A free social networking service that allows users to send "updates" via SMS
