Anybody Have An Invite?

(Spain)

TUENTI (pronounced twenty) is known as Spain's version of Facebook and is the country’s most popular social network. However it is an invitation based platform, making it incredibly difficult to join.

Because I studied in Spain, I was super excited to join this type of network and reconnect with friends from my abroad experience. I've been trying for a solid week to receive an invitation utilizing the few contacts I have in Spain, current social networks, and Yahoo Answers. No dice.

If I ever receive an invite, I’ll give you all more details and hook you up with the coveted invite. Until then – a si es la vida.

Around The World, Around The World...

I am currently exploring the world of social networking…around the world. While Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and LinkedIn are common sites in the states, there are tons of social networks in other countries that are just as popular and wildly successful. In the next few days of reading intheincrowd.blogspost.com, you will get to see some of the findings of my research. I will be focusing on: Spain, France, United Kingdom and Germany.

Feel free to comment at any point if you know additional information about the topics I post!
