FaceBook says thanks.

Before I tell you something about the company behind FaceBook, it will be useful to know something about FaceBook, the fastest growing social networking web site.

This website boasts of 59 million users currently and there is already a rumor that Microsoft is salivating even while thinking about acquiring it. Hey, this is just news that I read somewhere in the web, so don't take it seriously.

Now about the investing company:
The man behind the scene of FaceBook is Mr. Peter Thiel and he is reported to be the owner of
Founders Fund, a venture capital organization.

He first laid down $500K for this project. I think that has increased to 50 times in value on paper.

He was formerly the CEO of PayPal Inc.

Bharat Student is all about the soul of India. It is a social network cum student community.

Till today, I did not about this website. I saw the name on the Yoono tool bar scrolling across my browser. I am happy that I did it.

Bharatstudent.com targets this demographic segment with many networks - Students in schools / colleges, Fresh graduates, Employees in corporates, Young Entrepreneurs, Groups of Artist / talented youngsters in different regions. Though each of these networks is independent, still have interconnectivity with other Indian network.

I recommend every Indian join this great community, contribute and make it popular in the world.

The few videos that I watched are of very poor quality.

A music community.

Well, well, there is now an online community for music lovers.

With the coming of mobiles phones in which one can load and hear their favorite songs, music lovers all over the world started increasing.

Now, the iPod and and the iPhone turned the music world upside down and captured thousands of songs in a small chip about the size of a small candy.

Since then, I stumbled upon a few social communities that cater to the music lovers exclusively.
http://fairtilizer.com/ is one such social networking site designed exclusively for music lovers.

Members of this community share their favorites among each other. I am sorry, I have no further information because, I must be a member to browse this web site but to become a member, I need an invitation.

Who will invite me? Oh, I am not really botherd.

Living in the small world?

I am not talking about the physical world but a virtual small world where invited members can intereact with each other, share their life and ambitions.

ASMALLWORLD is a private online community, which is designed for those who already have strong connections with one another.

Is it one of those social networking websites? I suppose so, but only you need an invitation to join. They say it is one way of restricting. I don't know why they should restrict!


ASMALLWORLD also offers trusted and select information. Most of the content is produced by their members who offer travel suggestions, feedback, lively forum discussions, and other topics of common interest.

Features on the website include a forum of diverse topics, listings of events around the world, a personal messaging service, suggestions and user ratings for travel and restaurants, and city-based resources.

Erik Wachtmeister founded ASMALLWORLD as a private online community.

You are invited to My Indian Space.

My Indian Space is a social networking web site where it is easy to get comments. Adding friends, leaving comments are encouraged to win a iPod.

Each time you add a friend, receive a comment or invite a new friend to join MyIndianPlace.com, you will receive points that will increase your chances of winning the iPod.

So, getting traffic is much easier in this social network. Like any other social networking, here too you can share pictures and text.

I noticed the web site is loading pretty slow mainly because of their design.

Myindianplace.com is owned by Khäwäb Communications, Inc and the brainchild of two creative minds who have the vision to create an online community that will network Indians from all over the word.

The profiles are created with much tastes like in Myspace. Soon, I foresee this web site to be in the top ten social networking sites.
