Facebook, LinkedIn, Ning, MySpace: which do you use?

[sclark]

I use LinkedIn myself, for making professional contacts, but I was wondering what the majority of you use. What are the best aspects of each of these social networks? It is the connectivity, or the use of technologies such as Ajax that allow you to receive updated info without refreshing the page?

Oh, and welcome to the Lounge!

Personally, I use LinkedIn for my professional contact networking and Facebook for my personal contact networking (I'm sure this is pretty common). My impression of MySpace is that it's more for the teenage crowd (and some music lovers). I think LinkedIn and Facebook are more on the way up, where MySpace might be on its way down. Just my thoughts.

Best of luck

myspace because it has by far the most people, most customizable, not restricting like facebook, and ning who knows that one? linkedin appears for professionals - don know how effective that is.

I use Facebook and Twitter to inform about my activity. LinkedIn serves me to gain industry contacts.
