Top 20 Social Networking Sites

Posted on January 1, 2009 written by Mark

2008 was a year for big growth in social networking sites.  Below are some stats on the largest sites by membership.  There is certainly no shortage of communities to belong to on line.    The list is purely the biggest communities.  Not the ones that may be best for you.

The sites on this list that I use regularly are Wordpress.com, Facebook and Flickr.  I was a long time user of Typepad from Moveable Type until I switched over to Wordpress.  I’ve also played around on a few of the other sites in this list.

How many of these communities have you tried?

What’s your favorite place for social networking?
