There are so many social networking sites out there today. How do you know which one is right for you? There are the general social networking sites like MySpace, Orkut, Friendster and Xanga where you can make friends with whoever is on there and anyone could be on there.

Then there are the niche social networking sites where you can meet people and get advice from other people with the same issues you have in life. There are a lot of these too. I suppose if you are looking for a niche social networking site you would just decide which issues you want to discuss the most and join that site.

So how do you decide? If you are going for a general social networking site how do you know which one is for you? Frankly, MySpace has the most people so if you're looking for old friends you are more likely to find then there than anywhere else.

Maybe you're not out to find old friends though, then how do you decide?
