9. Orkut  




This social networking site launched on January 22, 2004 by Google Inc.. This site is from Google's own employees, so it is not the result of the acquisition of any party. Named after Orkut, because that name as a form of Google's dedication to the creator named Orkut Büyükkökten. Orkut is so popular in Indonesia. As I quote from Wikipedia, Orkut users most of the land of Samba (Brazil) with a percentage of 51.09% followed by India 20:02% (data released in December 2009).

10. Yahoo! Meme  




Already knew was the one who made this networking site. Yep Yahoo!, Yahoo! released bullae released on August 2009. Yahoo! Meme or often called Yahoo! Meme, meme name itself has no special meaning. However, the term "meme" on the web known as something that spreads quickly and everyone's attention.

This term is taken from a book called "The Selfish Gene" by Richard Dawkins, published in 1976. The word "meme" by Richard Dawkins refers to a small piece of culture or behavior that later duplicate a lot among the people, similar to what happened in the gene in biology. So the hope of Yahoo! gave the name "Meme" none other than Yahoo! Meme spread so rapidly, such as gene duplication in biology.

Yahoo! Meme almost like Twitter. Why are similar? Yahoo! Meme has a resemblance to features like the Twitter @ replies (replies) and direct messages. Meme also has other similarities which adopts a follower like Twitter and also Repost (which is known to Retweet in Twitter).



11. Koprol  




It turned out that Yahoo! has two social networking sites that Meme and another somersault. Unlike Meme, for some reason I was quite proud of the somersault? What article? As it turns somersault is one of the social network made ​​in Indonesia. Logo is unique because if you check in (log-in) with a cell phone, your phone can function as a GPS without a GPS application on the mobile phone. After you log in you can see other users who were there at the same location (same city).

As I quote from Wikipedia, the working system is a combination of system Koprol Lifestream Twitter, Plurk commenting system, and system location such as Brightkite. Excellence is what makes Yahoo! interested in acquiring Koprol on May 25, 2010 with a value that is not mentioned.
