A few more social networking sites

Thanks to Chuck Nyren the list of 50-plus social networking sites has grown a little longer. See his comments to my recent post.

This got me thinking. Well if truth to be told it
provided a distraction to avoid writing a report that has been
festering on my desk over the New Year holiday.

The UK site that I omitted is Wanobe. I have already posted a couple of comments about this site at its launch and when I discovered the architecture it is built around.

I
revisited the site. Well if the activity in the forums and the page
views counters are anything to go by then it isn’t generating much
traffic. Sad because somebody has clearly put a lot of thought and
money into the site.

Whilst doing a count of users I visited Sagazone again. Back on the 22nd
November the number of members stood at 27,572. Today, it is 29,301.
That is 1,729 new members in about 40 days. OK, this is a count of
members who have agreed to make their profiles visible, so the count
will be higher. Let’s say it is double that number – still less than
100 members/day.

Saga can take a little
consolation from the fact that Which Computer has highly praised the
site in its social networking survey. Big deal.

I promise this is the last time I post anything to do with social networking this month!
