Many years back, there was a huge social networking site called Mylot. It was nothing like Myspace. Most of the members were twenties and up in age group, not teens. The profile page was customizable just like any social network. To build the community, they actually paid members a small amount per post. The site was more like a forum with it's community feel but they were definitely a social network. This was one of my places to be while other people were happily hanging out on Facebook and Myspace. A few years ago, my life got really busy so I left the site. Still I have very fond memories of making friends there.
