    Here are the choices, listed alphabetically(not really).

    spaces.msn.com
    MySpace.com
    Tribe.net
    MyWallop.com
    Orkut.com
    Facebook.com
    LiveJournal.com
    Xanga.com
    360.yahoo.com
    mulitply.com

    If your wonder why I left out blogger.com, it's because it's really not a social network.

    MySpace.com is probobly the most well known, but that doesn't make it the best.

    I recently discovered MyWallop.com which is flash based so its rather intresting, but I find it limiting in starting/finding groups online, so I am not using it anymore.

    Orkut.com is too buggy.

    Facebook.com is aimed twords college students, I'm in H.S.

    LiveJournal.com is too limited.

    Xanga.com is weak.

    360.yahoo.com is so/so, but I don't use it because I have gmail.

    So, that leaves multiply.com, I really like it, the only iffy thing about it is that when you invite a friend, it emails them like every 5 minutes, but besides that I think its the best.

    multiply.com features

    -make a network of friends friends(useful for selling)
    -upload pictures, videos, music
    -keep a calender that people can see
    -write reviews of resturants etc.
    -buy/sell things
    -have blurps on site
    -send blurps to your whole network in one click
    -keep a journal
    -add links
    -find/create groups
    -levels of privacy, so you can control what level on people(family, friends, anyone) sees your journals or photos.
    -send alerts to your network, anyone, contacts
    -more features I am probobly missing.

    Why did I make this topic?
    -So, people know there is more out there than spaces.msn.com or MySpace.com, etc.
    -I am not saying go with multiply.com but I recommend it.

    takah.multiply.com
