Sorry Irma - cant give you the same compliment as Dan - Im actually on MySpace and Facebook, Yahoo 360, Bebo and Netlog and friends are inviting me like crazy to join Multiply. Not to mention Wikipedia, Helium, Stumble Upon, Reviewstream and Netvine!

To be honest most of us are like lemmings - we get an invite to a site and after a while the bugs and techie problems get to you, then someone finds a "wonderful" new site and we all drift across to the new site then we all get bugged by the problems or the stalkers and move again. Im convinced that there are not as many internet users as is claimed it is just group after group meanering round the web like lost herds of wilderbeest!

You're talking to someone who is notorious for luring friends into signing up at 'cool new sites' :-) Of all those that you mention, I'm not on Reviewstream, but that's it. Not to mention I'm a member of many, many more ...

Sounds like a good lead for an article - just how many sites are Newsviners members of?

Irma could write an encyclopedia of social networks and reviews of every one of them... I think she's invited me to most of them — except Newsvine! I got here before she did... and I won't let her forget it either. ;)

Heh Heh I have often wondered whether she is a serial inviter or an obsessive compulsive inviter :)
