Facebook: Millions of people use Facebook everyday to keep up with friends, upload an unlimited number of photos, share links and videos, and learn more about the people they meet. Example

MySpace: is a popular social networking site that offers MP3s, videos, blogs, photos, and profiles. In addition to this, the website also has an email system.

Twitter: is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing? Example

YouTube: People post videos on YouTube and watch and comment on the videos others have posted. The videos can be anything from a simple rant into a cell phone camera by a frustrated teenager to a favorite sports clip Tivo'd off of ESPN - and everything in between. Example

LinkedIn: is the world's largest professional network with over 40 million members and growing rapidly. LinkedIn connects you to your trusted contacts and helps you exchange knowledge, ideas, and opportunities with a broader network of professionals. Example

Del.icio.us: Keep links to your favorite articles, blogs, music, reviews, recipes, and more, and access them from any computer on the web. Share favorites with friends, family, coworkers, and the del.icio.us community. Example

Digg: is a social news website made for people to discover and share content from anywhere on the Internet, by submitting links and stories, and voting and commenting on submitted links and stories. Example

StumbleUpon: connects you to everything new and cool on the Web. The Web site allows you to skip around the Web, stumbling upon random, cool and interesting Web pages that have been submitted to the StumbleUpon community. Example

Squidoo: is a hand-built collection of half a million pages built by people just like you. Squidoo is about finding people when you care what they know instead of who they know.

HubPages: is a collection of articles or hubs, as they call them, and help you earn revenue as well. After registering and becoming a member you can write your own hub and promote them as you want. If you mention your main website in your hub or profile, you would want to promote your hub which will indirectly promote your website. Example
