Social Networks with the Most Users in the World

The only one I’m on is FB and don’t belong to YouTube. I might watch a link, won’t join.
 
Well I use Whatsaap.. all the time, it's free texting but on the computer... and Youtube too, got quite a few Videos uploaded on there .....FB I use for marketplace or checking on the family but I never chat on there...

I have a Pinterest account
 
I often search UTube for videos of repairs I haven't done before....that usually saves me a bunch of time and mistakes. Other than that, this forum, and 3 others regarding chainsaws, lawn equipment and tractors, is about as close as I get to Social Media.
 
I use MySpace but it's not on your list and coincidentally, I haven't been able to log on to my account there in quite awhile :unsure:

Fascinating look at the rise and fall of Social Networks... starting from 2002 - 2020

Which of these do you use if any, and are you still using any from years gone by..?

Those numbers are really interesting. Brought back memories, too. I was on MySpace for years back in the day. That's where I met the bane of my existence, so not all of them good memories.
 
I watch plenty of YouTube videos, but have no account or login.
Facebook -- well, I joined in 2007 but follow almost no one and don't post. The only reason I keep the account is to check in on a couple of friends.
I have a couple of accounts elsewhere, but almost never post.
 
I loved Google Buzz. It came out around 2010 and met some great people there. Then they morphed it into Google Plus and things started to go downhill. It did have a nice UI though. I did use IRC back in the day but that was mainly for work. I would never admit if I used the AOL Chat Rooms nor not :p

I am on FB with a limited number of friends and family members. My privacy is locked down as much as possible and I do not play the silly games and such which do compromise what information is sold and I am on Twitter but I only follow certain news and sports accounts there so I can get quick updates on things I am interested in. I don't use it for anything else. Youtube I use for a lot of different reasons but mainly just to sit back and watch a variety of videos.
 
Fascinating!

I used to use MySpace, mainly to connect with bands and musical artists.

Before that I used Usenet news groups which could be used for discussions. Before that I took part in email groups that had journaled emails usually sent out daily with all the contributions for the day.

Way back when there was a proprietary, internal only social networking program called Notes on servers at Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) that had both work related and social groups that all 120,000 worldwide employees (at their peak) could use to communicate. It remains the best social discussion platform I've ever had the pleasure of using and I met lots of cool people and found lots of great music through some of them.
 
I forgot about the days of Usenet news groups @asp3 . I learned a lot from certain groups and grabbed some good music from others. Ah, the "good old days" of computing. I must admit sometimes I do miss those days and the sound of the 14k modem..lol.
 
I use three forums—all with a format similar to SF. I need to have something in common with people when I use social media, and I get that here with people my age, and with hobbies in the other forums. I guess Facebook probably has groups for certain hobbies. One day, maybe I'll take a look.
 
There are two other forums I'm active on right now, one is the forums on rateyourmusic.com and the other is a really interesting international forum called penpal gate that has posts in multiple languages with people of all ages although most of them are very young.
