Is there such a thing as a sophisticated, tasteful social networking site?

Question

Facebook strikes me as boring and uncompelling. MySpace is juvenile and mostly tasteless. Are there any social networking sites that do not pander to the most base and primal instincts/sensibilities in humanity?

Answer 1

Yes.

They started as Message Boards.

Simple .txt files with minimal HTML tables.

Then came Microsoft, sorta good,  YouTube,FaceBook and all of the others.

They are called BBs or PBBs.

Then there is *gasp* non Windows stuff:

.txt is s**y!

Answer 2

I like y360 and multiply. But that stuff can go on anywhere. Good luck:)

Answer 3

I would suggest you try to search for some forums that peak your interest - whether completely general or something on-topic. I think Yahoo Answers is great as far as some topics that arise, but doesn't allow for back and forth interaction/discussion. That's where forums are good... you can have much more engaging conversations with people, and often times they maintain a certain level of maturity depending on the site.

Answer 4

www.gaia.com ---its emphasis is on health, meditation, making a difference etc.

www.blogger.com--- you post blogs and read others and comment on blogs

Between the two gaia is your best social networking site
