Not done: Sorry, but to have an entry on this list, the website in question needs to have its own Wikipedia page. At the moment, Miiverse is only a section in the Nintendo Network page, which isn't really enough. If Miiverse gets its own page in the future, though, feel free to reopen this request.

Formspring number of registered users is wrong per the linked source.

This page lists 290,000,000 registered users for Formspring. I was somewhat amazed by that number (especially since on their login page Formspring itself only claims to have around 25 million users) so I went ahead and followed the source to find that it says 29,000,000.

This press release is shown on: http://www.rickramos.com/facescom/ Someconnect (talk) 18:05, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks Someconnect. The information on that page is just copied from the site itself. Comparing the claimed number of users (700,000) with the site's Alexa rank (149,839), it looks like the number is a wild exaggeration, so I've just removed it. As the hidden text at the top of the article notes, sites have every incentive to inflate their user number, so it's best if we rely on independent sources.

Twitter active users is not 500 million

Based on my research for Twitter, I did not find anywhere stating it has 500,000,000 active users. It seems that the correct number is 232 million and for current registered users, the number is 932.3 million  Done I fully agree that the previous BBC reference did not support the claimed figure
I think this list needs to try and differentiate between total accounts, and active accounts - but appreciate all these figures are highly questionable. Arjayay (talk) 19:17, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

New diaspora* statistics

Can you please explain? the site has followers, friends, comments, reviews, sharing, chat, not to mention millions of users - what else is needed to count as a 'social networking site'?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Gadilif (talk • contribs) 14:01, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

With its focus on shopping rather than socializing, I doubt it should be included even if ShopYourWay existed. Sam Sailor ^Sing 14:19, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

But, most of the other sites in the list focus on a specific topic and have social aspects. If you sign in the site you can see that there's a lot of social elements (you have a newsfeed like in Instagram from your followees, for example). Is there a specific social networking element that you think is missing in ShopYourWay that is a core part of a social networking site? If not, why not include it in the list?

Let's continue that talk when ShopYourWay is considered notable for inclusion. (Please sign talk page messages. And do not take that as an invitation to continue this specific topic.) Sam Sailor ^Sing 14:37, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

Disruptive editing is not always intentional.

Edit Request: Facebook & Google+ Citation(s) and Statistics

The Facebook # of registered users comes from citation 83. The Google+ # of registered uses comes from citation 133. They are the same website:

http://blog.digitalinsights.in/social-media-users-2014-stats-numbers/05205287.html

Furthermore, according to that website, the number of registered Google+ users is correctly cited on the wiki-page as 1.6 billion. The number of registered Facebook users according to citation is unknown, and this wiki-page instead shows the number of Facebook active monthly users, which is more than twice the number of active monthly users of Google+ listed in the citation.

Either two columns should be made of Total Registered Users and Regular/Monthly Users, or the number of Facebook Registered Users should be changed to unknown.

Yuganka Sharan (talk) 10:07, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

We haven't added them to this page because of two reasons. 1. No one has ever asked for them to be added here. 2. The articles do not verify that they are social networking sites. The article Coursera does not identify it as a Social Networking site at all. The article Quora has been placed in a category that identifies it as a socila network, but there is nothing in the prose that describes it that way. Both articles would need to be worked on before it would be appropriate to add them here. GB fan 10:52, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Why isin't Usenet included in this list?

It's a total crock that usenet is not included in this list. Usenet was the original "social network" on the internet, and it continues to be the only communications mechanism and method for allowing people to aggregate in "societies" and communicate with each other without corporate or government influence or censorship. Usenet is the only social network that can garantee anonymity for those that seek it.

For this wikipedia list of social networks to have even a shred of credibility, authority and completeness, Usenet must be included. The fact that this is a list of "websites" is irrelavent, because the vast majority of people do not experience any of these social networks via web-browser. This list needs to be renamed as a list of internet-based social networks, and Usenet must be added and mentioned as the original internet social network. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.91.158.197 (talk) 23:20, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

• While I agree with you that Usenet should probably be included, please note that making statements like "total crock", "needs to be" and "must be" is not the usual, and a rarely effective, means of developing consensus on Wikipedia, which is one of the core principles by which this site works.

• The list is social networking websites. Usenet is not a website. --— Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 14:26, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

It was already pointed out in this section that catagorizing social networks that exist on or are reachable through the internet in terms of whether those networks exist as websites is questionable or serves no purpose other than to exclude obvious examples of social networks such as usenet. I suggest that some action be taken to remove the unnecessary critea of "website" be removed from this article and the article be renamed as a "List of Internet-based Social Networks", and usenet be included as the defacto original internet social network. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.93.26.3 (talk) 15:05, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Wordbuzz

Deskolinsore, the inclusion requirements for this page has been discussed many times. The consensus is that we only add entries to this page if they currently have an article written about them on Wikipedia. Worbuzz does not have an article. It shows up as a blue link because you created a redirect to the main Social networking service article. The requirement is more than just that the link be blue, it must be an article that is about the Social networking service. In this case it is not so the entry does not belong in the list according to consensus. -- GB fan 16:35, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

Date sorting broken

Numeric years should be in front of the alpha months. Otherwise alphabetic characters bork sorting and goes all crazy when they're injected into mix. Should probably be listed as YYYY w/o any months or specific days.

XXXX	Borked!
Foo	123
Bar	abc 123
Baz	123 abc
qwertz	123 123 abc
azerty	123 abc 1234

Remove Faces.com from the list, which was deleted via PROD. Also, Full Protect on this page seems like serious overkill. This page gets a fraction of the spam and instability of some of the other lists I follow. Either dozens/hundreds more should be full protected (seems unlikely) or this should go to semi.

Dear Team of Wikipedia,

While I was reading the content titled "[of social networking websites]" on Wikipedia, I found that there are some dead links in the reference section.

If you go down to the 213th point in the reference section, you will find a dead link.

I wish to suggest you a link replacement for the dead link. I have an interesting infographic on social media checklist which I am sure the readers of the page will be interested in reading.

Please have a look at it social media checklist

I hope this will be of use to Wikipedia and the readers as well.

Name change (the internet no longer means web)

I propose changing the name of this article to something like, "List of social networks".
