It’s interesting that the largest australian based social network for aussies – http://www.smsfun.com.au didn’t even make the top 10.
Seems we’re all controlled by the big international networks.
@Vern
I’m agree with your opinion. I’m also running 2 global fetish sites which is on the top 10 both of them. The question is: How come and even a free business social networking site in 20 days got only 15 members when an adult social network it’s getting about 20 new members in daily bases ?
The question is focused on Aussies as when I was trying to found a business social network I was must to pay a fee to join or simply was not exist. It is not the international networks, it is the culture of people I think.
MyOzpage is a new Australian owned and operated Social Networking Website.
It is 100% FREE to join and use all the features. Connect with your friends and family or make new friends from anywhere is Australia.
About My Age is the online community for over 50s

This website is free and a fun way to interact with like minded people.
Those other websites listed are mainly for younger people.
I recently found this site photodiary.com
It is hugely popular in Sweden, and could take off here considering it is based soley on images.

I run a social networking site called AussieSchoolmates and we’ve seen consistant growth over the last few years to the tune of about 100 new subscribers a day… The key we’ve found is to ensure you have a niche market that you are focusing on. The big guys have gone after the general population and amassed huge amounts of users based on that focus. We found that by providing a social network with a focused service offering we can still gather the subscribers (not at the same level as the big guys) but never the less we have managed to obtain a large following of members which is not bad for a little Aussie website. We’ve got along way to go but our foundations are strong and the future looks pretty rosie… Our mantra is based on a David and Goliath type philosophy… anyone got a huge facebook shaped rock we can borrow?
I tried checking out http://www.youzoomr.com
–However- it kept asking for my user name and password- yet nowhere to register?
What people might not now is that family social networking is huge in Australia. Family network myheritage.com – a site where people can build their family tree and share news, events and pictures and other material, has over 400.000 members in Australia!
but i thinks http://www.orkut.com is better
very interesting post on Social networking sites in Australia, Thanks for sharing.
Nice information for Australia social networking sites. Thanks to share this knowledge with US
A Social Network site that are not really interested in enforcing its own Terms of Service against groups and comments that encourages violence, hatred and racism against others, was ranked as the 4th most visited website in May 2008?
Facebook is king of the hill right now but google+ is going strong i wonder who will win the social networking war …. Cheers from muhammed sekertekin
