Hmm, I use facebook, I have heard of myspace (although have no idea what
it looks like), never heard of friendster, orkut, bebo, epinions, have
heard of linkedin but never looked at it, and have tried to use
classmates and declared it useless without paying them money which I see
no reason to do.

I could see how someone could have happily avoided all of them, given I
have certainly avoided at least half that list.
