European Social Networks top Google Global Searches

Out of the top global Google searches for 2008, four search terms are social networking sites. Three of these social networking sites are exclusively European. Two of these three are “invitation only” social networking sites.

• Topping the list at no. 3 is Facebook login
• No. 4 is Tuenti, a Madrid-based “invitation only” social networking site,
• no. 7 is Nasza Klasa, a Polish “find old classmates” site initially frequented by older Polish persons, but attracting more and more youthful members
• no. 8 is Wer Kennt Wen, a German “invitation only” social networking site that looks for “who knows who?”

Seems social networking has blossomed just as we have.

Our international team is pleased to see that we cover all the necessary languages-with native speakers. Time to set up a nice project to track what the forum and blog buzz is about these networks. We should probably do some back-in-time tracking. Do you think that three months back in time is enough?
