India is second largest country in the world after China in population, so every web based service is seeing a big market in India, so Google, Yahoo and MSN like giants has started Indian version of their services. Facebook and Twitter like social networking sites are getting stronger in India and now giving tough competition to native social networking sites. Orkut is still at top in networking sites but Facebook is near to catch it.
In India there are many social networking sites but it is better not to mention them in this list
Anyway I have found some Indian social networking sites specially for Indian users. Which are doing great.
(1) Ibibo
Ibibo is founded by a South African company but is specially for Indian peoples, more than 90% it receives from India. Orkut gets 98% of traffic from India but it is India version of Orkut so I am not going to mention Orkut in this list. And you can take it as a top Indian networking site receiving more than 100K unique visitor every month.
Ibibo is mixture Facebook and MySpace but it more like Facebook in functions.
Ibibo Features:
Sawal (Answer and Question)
Blogs
Photo Storage
Videos
Mobile
Music
Games
SMS
Games
Mail
Messenger
Surveys
(2) Indyarocks
Indyarocks is well known for sending free SMS to any mobile within India but is a full functional social networking site, you can compare it’s features to Ibibo. Indysrocks also has a Facebook line messaging bar in bottom. Indysrocks is more rich in features but very far from Ibibo in traffic.
As Facebook has third party apps for many functions Indyarocks has its own inbuilt features for similar functionality.
You can earn money also on Indyarocks.
Indysrocks Features:
Send Free SMS
Tribes (Join Or Create like groups)
Blogs
Videos
Photos
Movies (special feature other than music and videos)
Music
Games
Market( Includes classified)
(3) Bigadda
Note: Bigadda is now a shopping site for hot deal and discount but no more a social network
Bigadda is owned by Reliance Entertainment an Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG). Bigadda is growing social network. Bollywood super star Amitabh Bachchan’s blog is on Bigadda known as BigB and other stars also has their blog on Bigadda. Biggest thing in the bigadda is its “Addas”, an adda is a place where people gathers and talk on any subject but Bigadda’s addas are more smart than its regular meaning, every adda has its own theme and nature; and like minded people can join them.
Bigadda features:
Adda
Blogs
Apps
Videos
Photos
Music
(4) Dhingana
Dhingana is well known for music streaming but some of its features identifies as a social networking site. You can listen latest Hindi, Marathi and Punjabi songs on Dhingana. You can see Bollywood photos and watch videos and trailers of movies. You can make friends, join communities and perhaps can create also.
(5) Fropper
Fropper is known as dating come social networking site but dating section is separated from regular section so dating section is specially for dating.
You can create your Zone, zone is similar to profile or or your zone is your profile which anyone can view, create and join groups. “What are you doing” is known as shout-out.
Fropper Features:
Games
ezBlogs (blogs)
Groups
Videos
Photos
Relationships (dating)
(6) Yaari
Note: this site is no more active
Actually I don’t like this website because you have to give your email ID and password to verify your account which I could not. And you can not see bottom section of this website without login because page scrolls up automatically when you scroll down. Yaari also has various features.
Yaari Featurs:
Quizzes
Celebrities
Music
Videos
Photos
Groups
(7) Bharat Students
BharatStudents was launched to aim Indian students so many times I got discussed websites features which are miles away from its name. You can upload documents, post classifieds.
Website is small but has plenty of features so if one feature I add in one line, whole page will be filled by its features.
Lets have a look at social features.
Networking
Gangs
Photos
Videos
Blogs
Events
Forums
