Love it or hate it, Facebook has the most users and therefore is the most successful at being a social network.
If that were the only criteria then Email would probably win. Perhaps to one person a more important criteria is that most things get filtered out and for another person it’s that all things are shown.
It would be better to judge on the features of a network with the assumption that all your friends are on that network. I would probably call Facebook a better social network than twitter no matter how many of my friends were on either.
I wouldn’t call email a social network, and TBH I never use email outside of work. That’s what Facebook messaging, or just general SMS is for.
Flickr? Desura? Abstinence?
Myspace?
Designated smoking area at work. Hands down the most social space i know.
I think the best “social network” is where you spend time with real people in real life.
Yes, the time I spend on Facebook is imaginary, as are the people I interact with. Great point.
I’m pretty sure that there’s a significant difference between being on Facebook and actually interacting with people face-to-face. However if Facebook fulfils your social needs, knock yourself out.
