5. Hi5
Hi5 is a website based in San Francisco, California. The company was founded in 2003 by Ramu Yalamanchi. By 2008, comScore reported that hi5 had become the third most popular social networking site in terms of monthly unique visitors. Hi5 has many features common to social networking sites, such as friend networks, photo sharing, user groups, and status updates.

A Prediction - Now there is a good competitor in this niche. World number one search engine owned Google inc. has released a social networking site call Google+. It's just like a new-born baby. Therefore still I can't express 100% correct prediction. But I can say Google+ will be a headache to Mark Zuckerberg.
