Favourite websites

Howdy,

Quick question:

What are your favourite interactive/social networking websites and what functions do you enjoy using on them?

I'm asking this because once again we're thinking about ways to improve TheSite.org since the latest redesign and we'd like to evaluate the stuff that's already out there and see where it fits with TheSite.org.

Cheers :)

    Facebook

    takes in my rss feeds and distbutes them on my profile
    I can build a group about my website.

    Twitter

    constant marketing fest, lots of great things to be learned.

    Bebo

    A wee bit less than facebook but a lot of people I know are on there.

    Skype/Yahoo/MSN messenger

    Great contact with the outside world

    Ning.com

    It's cool, try it yourself.

    Social Bookmarking sites.

    Can pick up stuff from here that ou might never find on the net.

    Just a random thought, but why not have a link to PayPal so visitors can donate to TheSite as a charity? :)

    Not a bad idea, though we do try not to push donations to people using the site - but for now we do have a justgiving page if you felt the urge Teagan :)

    Another vote on Ning from me, everything about that site is good. (Nothing spectacular, but it has all the features that a social networking site needs.)

    keyboard and hey preston, my very own social network.

    I think Teagan has an urge to give something else...

    But in regards to the OP - Facebook & Twitter, both are growing and are extremely popular!

    Bebo's most likely because everyone around this part of the country are on it.. there's nothing to die for on it.. hwoever facebook have that little chat thingy along the bottom when you're signed in... which is cool... oh and the what's on your mind thing..

    Maybe we could have a what's on your mind?
