blogs.zdnet.com— According to Hitwise, social networking accounted for 6.5 percent of all U.S. Internet traffic in February 2007. MySpace still dominates with an 80% market share. Here are the top 20 sites.

I don't see how BlackPlanet.com is "reverse racism," or even racism. It's a site that caters to the interests of the black community. There are certain issues, entertainment news, political issues that members of the black community have a more pointed interest in and so BlackPlanet is there to fill the void. This is no different than services such as JDate, or iVillage, or MiGente, or the LOGO TV network. Creating a service to cater to a specific segment is not racism at all. Stop trying to dichotomize the world between "whites" and "everyone else."If you feel so offended that different groups like to socialize among each other in the internet, go ahead and start a networking service such AllWhites.com or something else. I think you'll discover first of all that it won't be very popular. Secondly, it'll become clear that even within the White community there are women, gays, children adults, Hispanics... etc and that Whites aren't just simply "Whites."
i bet theres a Polish - American social website - not many Black guys there id guess(substitute German,Irish,italian,French ,Swiss etc etc for Polish)those would all be 'Whites only' sites toowouldnt be many White guys on a Chinese - American social site either (or black guys come to that)
Thanks, that helped alot showing all the social sites and they were all linked! I went ahead and shared it to my market,,If you ever want share with me let me know,,!

But realistically, I don't think any company really makes 500 sextdecillion dollars, even MySpace.

Virb is actually really cool - great design, lots of neat features, great music support. Facebook is still king in my mind though.

What? No virb? virb is out of beta it should be in the list.
