A ] is an online platform that people use to build social networks or ]ships with other people who share similar personal or career interests, activities, backgrounds or real-life connections.


This is a list of notable active ]s, excluding ]s, that have Misplaced Pages articles. For defunct social networking websites, see ].
Please use {{nts}} and no commas for the user counts so they do not mess up sorting.
For example: {{nts|1234567}}
Use {{ntsh}} with non-numeric user counts, for example:
{{ntsh|0}}Unknown
{{ntsh|1000}}Thousands -->


{{Compact ToC|seealso=no|refs=yes|nobreak=yes|num=yes}}
<!-- Please only add a sortable table if it puts e.g. all "millions" above all "thousands". Refer to talk page for consensus on this -->{| class="wikitable sortable" style="font-size: 90%; width: 100%"
