5 other social networking site

1. jaiku (www.jaiku.corn) — Probably because it’s part of the Google empire, it has more Web 2.0 components than Twitter. More tech-savvy netizens prefer it due to its intuitive interface. The services, however, are pretty much standard.

2. Spotjots (www.spotjots. com) — What makes this platform different is its geotagging capabilities. Information is geolocated and mapped out in real time.

3. 12seconds (12seconds.tv) — This microblogging site is essentially a vlogging service (video logging). Instead of YouTube’s 10-minute limit this innovative little devil trims ft down to merely 12 seconds. That’s not a lot of time, so being concise and creative is important.

4. Posterous (posterous.com) — An account isn’t even necessary for this service. ft’s very versatile—you can simply post anything you want and attach pictures, music and videos, or you can make it into a full-fledged blog

5. MicroBlogr (www.microblogger. corn) — This microblogging community again makes communication and updating friends easy. But it takes ft to a whole different level by incorporating SMS features that allow instant correspondence and collaboration.
