Bored with Your Favorite Social Media Site or Micro-Blogging Service?

I don't know about you, but some of the popular social networking and micro-blogging sites (like Facebook and Twitter) tend to get boring especially if you are on those sites often, so I started a search for other websites that had some interesting features. Here's what I came up with:

My Yearbook: I like this site because it is similar to Facebook, but its just nicer to look at and easy to navigate.

Jaiku: Very simple to use and again nicer to look at.

Plurk: I thought it was fun to view especially the way the text runs across the screen.

Tagged: I enjoyed my time there. Very simple interface. I was able to design my page in minutes. You meet people almost instantly! (But I had to cancel, started noticing some people were too close to home.)

I hope you find some fun in visiting these sites and registering. (Notice, I don't get anything for writing about these sites--that's why I didn't include any links.)

My Life: Simple to use, many of my classmates were there and I was able to create a page for free. However, they do charge for other services.

Classmates: I like the site, but the idea they are charging people bothers me. I saw many of people I went to school there too, but not nearly as many as Facebook.
