Social Networking Sites

Don't get the wrong idea by the title, I'm not hating on social networking sites, I've had a few. I had a myspace, hated it and found facebook right before it became insanely huge, loved it. I've been on facebook since.

The issue, as it currently stands is that, my family has accounts, for example my mom, dad, sister, sisters friends. I mean let me put it this way, I have like 160 friends, not that many at all, but I only actually would care to talk to maybe 100. On top of that, I'm actually friends with these kids, like 7 years younger than me and I'm friends with them. Then people I hate have one, the girl Sarah from my other post has one and I have to see her face on there all the time and we aren't even friends. :/

To top that, every time I turn on a television or radio or open a website, they offer to connect to your facebook, so I've lost trust in the site, if they can connect my youtube to my facebook, that means random freaks on youtube could find me in real life. I don't know maybe I'm paranoid, but I just can not trust the huge franchise facebook has now become.

So today I started looking up social networking sites that have some promise and have found pretty much none.

All I'm searching for is a site where I can instant message, put up "statuses" and there's actually people already on there, not a lot but some.

I did find this website dailybooth, which is pretty much a site where to post a status you take a picture, I found this to be a brilliant idea. Its pretty cool, I definitely think it has promise but not for teens or younger, just because I think it'd become too immature after a while, the sexual pictures and drug pictures. :P

Well to wrap up, if you know any good social networking sites aside from facebook and myspace then tell me :) that would be great
