According to comScore, a leading web analytic firm Social networking is growing strongly in India in year 2008 with 51% growth in social networking crowd with top players being – Orkut, facebook and only Indian networking portal among top 3 is BharatStudents.com.

In year of 2008 a load of other social network has saw a incredible growth in traffic in terms of unique visitors top being – Facebook, Hi5 and MySpace sites. However, Orkut remained the favorite in India. The comScore report also predicted that Social Networking in India will continue to provide space for other players as well provided they have right blend of both a strong brand and cultural relevance.

Noticeably, the Indian players in the list have to do some act of redemption or simply rework their portals as apparent in the report social networks made in India such as ibibo.com, BigAdda.com are showing negative change in visitors attention and to my belief creating hype more that what one possess will do nothing but annoy users. The difference in majority of Indian startups are very much visible, though I am reluctant discussing it as seen in comments of IndianWeb2.com a lot of people have been offended.
