Really, I have no idea. | Jul 14, 2010 |
But the one everbody talks about is Facebook. I keep away from it, but have a very passive profile on LinkedIn, as it lets me check titles and details of people who may turn up in my work. Anyway, who needs Facebook, when we have Proz.com? | | |

I recently read an article on Web Worker Daily, "Identifying Your Social Media Triad," which made a lot of sense to me. My three are ProZ, LinkedIn and a reading and books network, since I'm an avid reader. Here's a link to the article, in case you're interested: http://webworkerdaily.com/2010/06/23/identifying-your-social-media-triad/ T...

... Linkedin is more of a professional networking site (rather than social). Facebook is the most popular in the UK but it is one of my pet hates. Yuck. I don't use it and never will. | |

In the Netherlands, the top social networking site is Hyves, a sort of MySpace. Facebook is gaining in popularity very quickly, but I think Hyves still remains the #1. hyves.nl | | |

Russian social networks | Jul 14, 2010 |
The most popular website with Russian speakers and those living on the territory of former USSR is vkontakte.ru. I believe, it has English version, http://vk.com/ | | |
I have no idea! | Jul 14, 2010 |
But according to my daughters is Facebook... | |

although twitter is also popular, but I don't bother with it. I have a facebook account and a LinkedIn account, that's plenty! | | |
I think everyone I know here (friends and relatives) have an account in Facebook, except me! | | |

It's definitely Facebook here. Nearly all my friends are on it and even most of my family, including aunts and uncles etc. It's a great way to keep in touch and share photos with my sister in NZ too. | | |
