Who has got more hot girls:Myspace or Facebook

Posted on March 13, 2008 by Inderjeet

This is very strange kind of face-off between Myspace and facebook once again for their dominance as social networking sites.

This is a new kind of poll started out by this fellow blogger at TastyBooze.com
At present Hot Facebook girls are leading the competition and polls.Currently it has done with 7-rounds of its polls with two hot beauties against each other.

But I think Myspace will no longer be lagging considering the amount of users it has which is far more greater than facebook.

And once myspace community knows of such a kind of weird poll they will definitely vote for their myspace hot girls out there.

This poll is based on the pictures and references taken from hottestgirlsonfacebook and hottestgirlsofmyspace.net

Posted on February 21, 2008 by Inderjeet

Its already told that social networking being one of the key trends for 2008. The new reformation to take place in the world of social networking is mobile social messaging or networking. It is a new platform for the users to change the way they communicate. Allowing the users to interact while they are on the move and freeing them from the desktop. Many of the so called “social networking sites” have been using it like Myspace, Facebook, Pownce, Twitter ,dodgeball are the few of many.

snockleslogo
Snockles the public beta version of mobile social messaging service by Web Spiders.Snockles is a micro blogging site similar to twitter and pownce. It can be accessed through web and by users mobile. It was simultaneously launched in India and UK. A List of few selected European countries and others including Australia, Singapore and South Africa will be able to use the mobile services using the UK gateway. It is also available in business version.

These are the key features of Snockles –

* It is available for free.
* The user does not need to pay for sending or receiving SMS messages.
* By broadcasting a single message all the contacts of the user are able to receive it.
* You can share with your friends about your current locations, current activity and your thoughts.

Snockles founder Siddharth Jhunjhunwala shared his thoughts on competition –

“Snockles is focused on providing a messaging and communication platform, much like how email and IM are forms of messaging. With regards to competition like Facebook and Bebo, Snockles would be able to integrate with open APIs to allow seamless access to existing networks.”

Social Networking has always been a very good market for the entrepreneurs. It wouldn’t be surprise if Indian Social Networking Sites too join the MSN services. I also expect that many companies will be using this platform to promote their products through advertisements.
