Networking sites

There seem to be a huge number of social or business networking sites. I wonder who uses which, so a poll...

I did pay for a year of Friends Reunited, but after that I'd contacted pretty much everyone I wanted to and didn't really see the point.

I'm fairly unhappy that the press have been using that site to try to contact schoolmates of the girl who was murdered in Japan last week - they offered cash for anecdotes too. As far as I know no-one bit. But still.

Scum sucking rodents will use whatever channel they can. If only we could keep them in the sewers where they belong.

Couldn't agree more.

You prompted me to go and look at Friends Reunited - virtually no new entries in the last three years.

I remembered that I signed up for the Durham Alumni Online site too - again, few entries of any point. I'm in touch directly or indirectly with far more people I knew - there are only four or five really familiar names in the entire list. These sites only work if you put time and effort into them.
