Web giants you didn't know about
http://infotech.indiatimes.com/quickiearticleshow/msid-2855484.cmsSkyrockLaunched in December 2002 by a French radio station, Skyrock was the largest social network in France, according to comScore World Metrix report in 2007. In fact, the radio broadcaster today earns more than 50 per cent of its revenues through online platform, thanks to SkyRock.
The online social network with over 22 million members is the no. 1 site in Belgium, No. 2 in France and among the top 5 sites in Quebec, Switzerland and Morocco. The site is the world's 17th largest site globally in page views, has more than 20.2 million monthly unique visitors, and counts a whopping 1.8 billion comments, 22.5 million videos and 400 million pictures.
The first French-speaking social network, the site's popularity has been attributed to its focus on the French language. Skyblog, the SkyRock's blogging platform is one of the most popular blogging sites in Europe. The service evolved into a social network since the beginning of 2007, adding friends and personal profiles.
The website is available in French, English, German, Dutch and Spanish, Norwegian, Portuguese, Italian, Swedish, Danish and Finnish languages.
Friendster
US-based Friendster is the single largest social network in Asia. Its top five countries are the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, the United States (legacy members who never left, plus new growth among Asians here), and Singapore.
Friendster has kept its growth going by launching fan profile pages for Asian pop singers, launching four new languages since September 2007 (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish), and letting developers create apps for its site.
With more than 60 million members worldwide, Friendster connects friends, family, school, groups, activities and interests.
Headquartered in San Francisco, California, Friendster is backed by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Benchmark Capital, DAG Ventures and individual investors. In 2003, Google offered $30 million to buy Friendster, however the offer was turned down.
XangaXanga is one of the world's biggest blogging platforms. The New York-based company launched in 1999 with a service that allowed users to share book and movie reviews has evolved into the Hong Kong's most popular blogging and social networking platform. The site is also popular in Singapore, Macao and UK. However, the site has lost large marketshare in US, where it used to be in the top 10 till 2006.
As of March 29, 2007, Xanga stood as the 60th most visited site, according to Alexa Internet ratings. Xanga has more than 40 million users. Popularly known as Xangans, these users write blogs, share photos and videos and meet new friends on the site.
Presently, Xanga is available in Chinese, Spanish, Indonesian, Japanese and Korean languages. Last year, Xanga introduced "Pulse".
A mini-blog it lets users post messages of up to 140 characters. The company claims that it is designed to make blog posting less daunting as well as cellphone-friendly. Users can send updates, musings and life commentary via a text message and have it appear on Pulse.
Taiwan's Wretch recently dethroned Yahoo in the country's top-100 list tabulated by Business Next, a local magazine, and Taiwan's Access Rating Online (ARO).
Wretch has been the top site by hits and unique visitors in Taiwan since its $146 million all-stock purchase of Kimo.com in December of 2000, the most popular portal on the island at the time.
Despite Yahoo's best attempts to keep up with new features such as blogs, Wretch continued to grow and gain popularity. It proved such a difficult battle that Yahoo Taiwan finally used cash to end the battle, buying Wretch.cc for an undisclosed sum.
Yahoo Taiwan came in second in the ranking overall. Google though ranked first among search engines, ranked 14th overall.
