social networking

By Vipin Agnihotri

For most netizens, Yahoo has been the original portal. Not only has Yahoo been on the web for over a decade is has also offered a wide array of top-notch services. But when people like me entered the realm of social networking, widely been regarded as the next big leap for the Internet, I was quite flabbergasted to see Yahoo missing in action.

Like we have done with our other we examine the traffic trends for social networking sites that primarily target an Indian audience. In all the social networking phenomenon in India is small compared to the US (Indian social networking websites today claim a user base of around 3 million registered users) while MySpace, which has 106 million users and Orkut which has 67 million have far greater numbers.
