Alternatives To Facebook

I've been quietly considering some alternatives to Facebook and this is the list I came up with, so I figured I'd share.......

.Orkut - Google’s social network, has 33 million users around the world and is still one of the most popular networks in Brazil and India.
.Zorpia - founded in 2003 by Jeffrey Ng, has grown to 26 million users while expanding its features to include photo albums and online journals in addition to social networking.
.Badoo - Badoo has grown to 121 million users and has reached 180 countries.
.Snapshot helps companies create a steady stream of engaging content for the social media campaign.
.Next Door - Nextdoor is the private social network for you, your neighbors and your community. It's the easiest way for you and your neighbors to talk online and it's free.
.Snabbo - SNABBO is a free-to-use social networking website created expressly for the Baby Boomer generation. The name “Snabbo” is an acronym for Social Network Allowing Baby Boomers
.Path is one of several new social networks that seeks to improve on Facebook by making the experience more private and personal: Users are limited to 150 friends on the mobile-only service. A user is instructed to only add his or her closest friends, or anyone you'd invite to your birthday

.Highlight - The number of social networks based on your current location, and your proximity to other users of an mobile application, is on the rise. These "social-location-mobile" (SoLoMo) apps dominated the recent South by Southwest festival, and the app that got the most press was Highlight.
.Circle - Circle is, like Highlight, an app that tells you who's around you; unlike Highlight, it has a very pleasant design and lots of options for what information you share publicly and who can see you.
.Kismet - Another social location app for your iPhone, Kismet shows you who's around and lets you chat with your nearby neighbors; it also allows users to check in on Foursquare and see which other Kismet users are at their location.
.Roamz - A mobile app for Android and iPhone, Roamz brings in information from Twitter, Foursquare, Instagram and Facebook to let you know what cool stuff is happening around you -- "where the locals go," it claims. That's the real draw of Roamz.
