Internet

The social networking websites that are listed in wikipedia.org, numbered to 194.

The sites I've heard of are: blogster, facebook, flixster, flickr, friendster, google buzz, hi5, last.fm, mySpace, orkut, twitter, and windows live spaces.

There are no websites I know of, that isn't listed.

I did a research on "faceparty" and what I found out is that, it is an open UK-based social networking website, generally to those above 18 years old, where you can create online profiles and interact with each other through forums and messages like emails.

I use social networking websites for keeping in touch with friends, families and people I know. Facebook is what I use the most. It defines 'what's going on' with everybody. You get regular updates of people you know, events that are happening, and new posts that you are likely to be interested in. I've also used twitter, orkut and hi5. I once organized a dance party at a club in my hometown and posted the details in my facebook profile. In less than an hour, I got comments, reviews and lists of people who are attending or not attending the party, which really helped. It is that much effective and efficient now days.
