A month or two ago, Kelly signed up on MySpace, and sort of convinced/forced me to sign up too. But to be honest, I despise MySpace. It looks horrible, and it's full of spammers. Plus I already have a Blogger blog (obviously), and I just figured out how to use Picasa to create online photo albums.

However, I do see the value in using a social networking website. So my question is this...of the big three social networking sites (MySpace, Facebook, and Orkut), which would you recommend? I remember Facebook starting up when I was at Northwestern, but I didn't care about it at the time. Facebook also seems to be gaining popularity, especially among college students and professionals. Orkut, on the other hand, is run by Google, so there will most likely be future integration with Blogger and Picasa.

Anyways, any suggestions? I guess my decision is a balance between which website offers the features that I want most and which website the majority of my friends and colleagues use.
