If you are interested in more information about SNS, "Orkut" - the famous social networking site was developed by a Turkish Software Engineer named Orkut Büyükkökten (Don`t ask me his sirname`s pronounciation :) ) while working in google.He developed Orkut as an independent project, the outgrowth of a company policy whereby all employees at Google can spend 20% of their time working on personal interests.While previously working for Affinity Engines, he had developed a similar system, InCircle, intended for use by university alumni groups.

At the end of July 2004 Orkut surpassed the 1,000,000 member mark, and at the end of September it surpassed the 2,000,000 mark. As of August 2007, the number of members was over 67,000,000.Yes thats big number.

The Japanese counterpart for orkut is "mixi".The word "mixi" is a combination of "mix" and "i", referring to the idea that the user, "i", "mixes" with other users through the service."Mixi Station", a client program that detects songs being played in iTunes and Windows Media Player and uploads them automatically to a communally accessible list in the "Music" section, was implemented late in June 2006. By July 2006, support for winamp was implemented via a winamp plugin, which was quickly made official by Mixi.Batara Kesuma was the only developer at the start of the social networking site.Started in February 2004, there are more than 10 million (1 crore) members and 1 million communities as of July 2007.
