There are a number of excellent alternatives to Facebook. The obvious answers are Google+ and Bebo, maybe even Friendster - each of these networks boasts millions of users, and supports pretty much all of the same functions as Facebook. There are, however, a few lesser known alternatives that might be preferred for their superior privacy settings and specific niche functionality. For example, Virb offers you a space for social networking as well as the functionality of a professional photographic portfolio. Ning allows you to customize online community networks, with more stringent privacy measures than Facebook. If you're looking for more interesting alternatives, ello is an invite-only social network which has made waves in the world of social networking, sometimes being called the "anti-Facebook" - it is exclusive, simplistic, and ad-free. Another really interesting alternative is tsū. By acknolwedging that users on social networks create revenue for those services, tsū now offers its users the chance to make some profit from their interactions. So, if you're looking for an extra buck, and you're a Facebook addict, this just might be the opportunity to profit from your vice!
