Image via CrunchBaseBadoo is a social networking site of interest, which unfortunately has made us feel very uncomfortable. Badoo is like a space, online dating and picture rating site disguised as a social network chat.
Although users and 18 years forced the page has been focusing too much on chatting with strangers and not on building your personal network of friends. When you create a profile that is braided with instant messages from people all over the world.
Although you can configure the security settings as public or private you are, we felt the best way to get a representative idea that the site was to keep to our public image as possible. This only leads to a large number of spam messages from random people.One or two of these messages is usually acceptable, but we have had over a dozen in a few days.
In addition, members are invited to participate in a game photos membership qualifications. Judge others with a score of 1 to 10 on the basis of his appeal.
Badoo was found that no group or community can meet other people with similar interests. You can also video and Badoo has not cut from a section of the video or music you find in most other social networking sites. Badoo seemed more like a personal blog with an instant messaging program.

Image via CrunchBaseNetlog, a European social networking site with over 35 million users and is relatively unknown in the United States. Here you can create a profile, add pictures join clans (groups), upload videos and listen to music all networks with friends. We particularly liked that the site is totally free of advertising.

You can if your profile can be found with a simple search, or more accurately can access your profile, or if the people in your age and location to contact you.

Netlog was found that not a supporter of meeting and networking with people who do not already know. However, this makes things a little difficult to find friends. Picture, download to your address book that you and your friends for you to download. You can also use the keywords, but found that this method is inefficient.
Netlog is lending money. You can deposit, and use them to serve additional features such as the development aspects of their profile in the center of attention. You can also free credits when their friends online picture based on your invitation or if you Netlog participate in various activities.
Netlog also offers a free download of their 24 picture toolbar that alerts you when you have a message or request new friend without signing into the site Netlog.

Netlog networking features are typical of a social-networking site, including blogs and personal videos. You can clans, acting as a group, but felt a little unusual and poorly organized. The categories are very general and there is no "drill down". For example, if I sports clan pages and pages of groups had to choose. We would reduce the possibility or to filter the search specifically for football or baseball like, and then by special equipment.
In addition, we would like to deploy applications, see, are a necessity of social networks.

The video section consists of a large number of videos uploaded by users. Some are original videos submitted by users, but we found that the vast majority of YouTube videos were taken.
The section includes about 11 subject categories with the groups created by users. Although the group are options to be broad and eclectic is perceived primarily as forums for discussion. Most seemed a threat of comments prompted by a question or a topic of conversation at random. But interesting.
You can buy a range of additional membership Royal connectivity as a profile, no advertising, extra View the profile of design features and unlimited messaging. Membership is ₨400.8 for 3 months, ₨624.72 for 6 months and ₨803.85 for 12 months.

You can limit only to friends or Zorpians in your country. You can also select views as photo albums, journals, video collections and more.
For testing purposes, we left our public profile and few restrictions are placed to help determine the quality of the social networking site. We were a little nervous about the number of spam messages we get from random strangers. It is understandable for some messages here and there, people who do not know, almost every day we have notified at least one or two or instant message from a stranger looking for directions to discuss or exchange addressese-mail. Meet new people from time to time can be fun and interesting, but eventually everything became creepy.

ompared to some of the social-networking sites, our investigation is a relatively new PerfSpot boy on the block. Like most social networking sites PerfSpot offers videos, music, customizable profiles, applications and groups. You can even create your own shop.
Although PerfSpot allows users to only 13 years to join the site for students and young professionals, which will provide an adult. This does not mean that the site is geared for adults, but also "PerfNights" is a section devoted to pictures of people drinking and having fun. Profiles of users under 18 not on a general search.

PerfSpot also has videos from most major networks and Hulu.There are music videos, TV shows, movies and more. It is also an important part of the music that you play thousands of songs and add them to your profile of the library provides. However, we realized that we do not have the ability to upload your own videos to the site.
We want to join PerfSpot has an eclectic collection of over 100 groups and you can update your profile with the profiles that the editor should be adjusted. Even if you do not can have their own code into MySpace, you can choose a combination of colors to choose their pre-made skins and themes.
PerfSpot think the interface is clean and easy to navigate. Privacy settings were easy to find and easy to configure. Several sections of your profile can be configured for different levels of security and may be limited by contact requests in their home countries.
Although PerSpot is a safe place, we felt that not enough attention or approach networking with people you already know. Place in our data analysis more than half a dozen residents were from all over the world make friend requests. While this is less likely to occur if our profile has the strictest privacy settings set, I wanted to see what happens when you keep your public profile as possible.
We were also surprised that even if PerfSpot has a section on online safety issues and there was no link to general support.Through the Contact Us link some e-mail addresses, telephone numbers and online assistance (which never seemed to be available), but we have a selection of frequently asked questions.
