  Facebook = Preteens to mid 20's maybe early 30's
  Google+ = For Business Clients and the more technical group of our generation

  
  
  That's what linkedin is established as. Every business worth anything has one, and most employed people as well. Even I have one, I pay no attention to it and just have my work stuff on it though.

  no, i dont. Skype is for pedos looking for underage children. all the people i know irl who have skype say they only get on there to check out members of the opposite/same gender, so point proven. not the least bit interested in MSN, and i dont use hotmail.
  
  this is 100% true for any "social networking site". Skype, MSN, Facebook, Myspace etc. all fall under this category.

  
  
  I am sorry, but what. If you're using MSN, Skype, AIM, Yahoo, and other instant messaging platforms as a social networking platform (to meet other people), you're doing it wrong.

  The Loli finds it miserable that Facebook has far better security than the CIA and the FBI... Truly, America?
  
  Though The Loli rather enjoys Social Networking.~

  I signed up/clicked the "keep me informed" option. Google+ seems interesting.

  I find it miserable that the secret services of the world have security at all.

  Facebook has had its share of embarrassments. :P

  Social networking is good, whether you like it or not.
  
  Facebook is so useful. For work, friends and family. Those who complain about Facebook probably have never used it to their advantage anyway. Networking is good, especially in this day and age. Say your college friend graduates and he can get you a job somewhere because he knows this friend; you're not close IRL, but you were really good classmates and being in contact with him through Facebook can definitely be beneficial.
  
  Of course, social networking websites should never replace RL, but so shouldn't text messages or IMs or forums or video games or whatnot.
  
  If we wanna make it somewhere in this world, we gonna step out of our shells and network with different kinds of people.

  I agree with that, but Facebook is not used for that purpose by the vast majority of its user base. Facebook knows this and they have designed their service accordingly. Professional networking is something you have to do IRL...and maybe with the help of LinkedIn. :p

  Yup, yup!
  
  I hate immature teens and people my age who love to spread drama across Facebook or any website.
  
  Those are the people you should avoid.
  
  Also, it's nice to see what the family's been doing. Photos of nephews and etc. It's cute.

  I've never really heard of Google+.
  
  In general, I dislike social networking sites.
