Facebook is my site of choice - more of my friends are on it than anywhere else, I lock my profile as far as possible so I can put photos of my son there for friends to see but they are not more widely accessible. Linkedin if quite useful if you're up for a career chance - it's a chance to track down uni friends etc.who may be of help now. My blog is on www.thoughts.com which also offers a platform for podcasts, videos, photos etc. and allows you to invite or sign up friends i.e. it's yet another social networking site in a way. Spare a thought for friends reunited - it's pretty much been usurped (although I think the original idea still has some worth - you can see what classsmates are up to without having to be in touch with them directly). Bet its owners are glad they sold out to ITV... I had a bebo account years ago for birthday reminders – I was really surprised when it turned into a social networking site.

Google Calendar was meant to do that, but ended up too clunky and with no real incentive or easy way of organising friendgroups. Otherwise, I haven't bothered with any of the others really, Myspace so I can listen to interesting new bands, but not often.
