The Top Social Networking Sites

You've heard of Facebook, Twitter, maybe even the "Not as popular ones." Like Bebo, and Ning.

They all have millions of users, but which one takes the crown as being the master of Social Networking?
Does MySpace take home the crown or is stuck in Twitter's shadow? Maybe you might find a site that fits your taste too.



10.  Meetup- Do something • Learn something Share something • Change something

Ever heard of Meetup? I hadn't until today, but millions much of heard of it, since it is in the top ten!
Meetup is an online social networking site, that opens the doors to offline clubs that happen around the world.
This "Smaller" social networking site made its way up to 10th place!


9. MyYearBook
MyYearBook is a site, that instead of adding friends you Know, you get to know new people (Or Strangers) I have to admit I love the CONNECT WITH FACEBOOK botton in this screen shot I took.
My Year Book settles in 9th Place.


8. Hi5

hi5.com Takes 8th place! It has the same sort of style as Facebook-Create a profile add friends, play games. So on and so on.


7.  Classmates
 
Is a site, where a member can "Find" classmates from classes from the past

6.Tagged
At Tagged you can play games, and share Tags and virtual gifts! Tagged (I didn't hear about it til today either!) Takes home 6th place, not bad.
 
5. Ning
Ning is a site, where people can create their own custom "social Network," or group.
Fact: Ning means Peace in Chinese

4. Linked In

The purpose of the site is to allow registered users to maintain a list of contact details of people they know and trust in business. The people in the list are called Connections. Users can invite anyone (whether a site user or not) to become a connection.
Fact:

The membership grows by a new member approximately every second. About half of the members are in the United States and 11 million are from Europe. With 3 million users, India is the fastest-growing country as of 2009. The Netherlands has the highest adoption rate per capita outside the US at 30%

3. Twitter
Not surprising, twitter slides into third place, this social networking site, is where people can follow others and get updates from them in the form of "Tweets."

2. My Space
My space is a site which allows users to create their own "Space." My space is still reigning under Facebook's shadow...(hint. Hint.)

1.Facebook

Facebook takes first place! (Not surprised?) 
Facebook is still at the top of its game!


What is your TOP TEN sites?
