How many social Networking Sites do i Check?
Ive been on the most luckiest ones(i believe so) to be in orkut in the first month of it’s launch. what I liked about orkut that time is that the strictness(the jail system), the decent and professional crowd, less no of spam and a extra brilliant network of friends. Ever since my joining, i used to check orkut daily or on alternate days but now things have died down due to lotsa issues in my side. Reports say atleast 60% of the internet users in india are hooked on to orkut for making new friends and to kill their time.
I really dont know the count of social networking sites that have cropped up in the web these days. I stopped signing up to social networking sites these days,because of the amount of spam i get from them.
hi5 is one network i feel is quite different or used to be different from orkut. IT’s young and full of energy. I could find the majority of young people in hi5.
I also have signed up for myspace as it’s one the biggest social networking sites in the world. Though it’s difficult to keep pace in myspace as majority of the users are from US.
Facebook is one which is fast growing and which is getting popular and because of the blogs and media reports i could see more people signing for that. Even i signed after seeing some news post about facebook.
Bigadda india’s own web 2.0 social networking site which comes from none other than the reliance family is making its roots felt with advertisements and campaign. Bharatstudent which is also another community which has made it’s mark on the alexa ranking for india. I must say that bharatstudent is rather a porn community because it encourages people to post and earn and lotsa pornographic videos are there and i can find lotsa people spamming in orkut and other groups with shortlinks that eventually lead to bharatstudent. Wallop is another one community which i got invited to today and it’s web2.0 and pretty neat. I havent got time to explore it more,but sure would love to have something put up under that there. Mash by Yahoo which was recently launched is another networking yahoo has launched with a pet for each people and also allowing users to add modules to other peoples homepage and edit other people’s page which is kinda different compared to other social networking sites of it’s kind.
There are still lot more social networking websites like youmint, joost etc. Oh god i cant even recollect the no of invites i am getting. The truth is that you can get signups but these sites find it hard to bring back the people to their website. I might signup for any number of websites but eventually i end up checking just one or two websites in the long run?
Finally i post a question to you guys. How many Social networking websites do you check??
