I also made available a list of sites that did not make it to the top but deserve an honorable mention.
Hi! My name is 
142 Comments
Its a great list of social media websites but don't really have a history of hollywood stars as they were before striking gold. I found a website for celebrities in their very early years, take a look at it.
Very good and useful social site list for promote a website. I found Another new social media site http://www.tweetrl.com , where user can submit a link and tweet and submit to stumbleupon easily,
I want to add another social bookmarking site..
http://ja-ta.com
Great list. It's very informative and can help blogger in many ways.
that's a very comprehensive list. thank you very much. but do you know where facebook should be on the list?

oh great sites for posting thanks. these will help all of us.
I have visited many websites which are offering social media website list but this website i found unique. Nice information available. Thanks
thanks for your nice post. this will help us.
A great social networking site for health is http://www.FacetoFaceHealth.com. It connects patients to others who share their medical condition. Allows the patient to directly (and securely) communicate with people who have their diagnosis. It's been a great resource for me!
I forgot to post more details for this site http://www.oldrec.com . it has more than 60000 links and it is ranked 43600 on alexa.
you missed oldrec.com which is coming up fast
You guys should definitely add this site http://www.DateandRate.com heres their description:
DateandRate.com is a totally free dating site. It is based in the United States, but is available to users worldwide. Users from the age of 18-99 can join the site. The website has distance/location searches for a lot of various countries such as United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and India.
They have easy prompt signup and tons of options available to their members such as webcams and voice chatting with up to 5 users simultaneously. Users can also fill out a Match Making survey to find their most recent matches. DateandRate.com is one of the only dating sites that allows musicians to upload their music to the site and allows its users to add them to their profiles. DateandRate.com is not only a dating site but has a huge social site feeling when you enter the site as well. You will notice features such as friends updates, having a friends list, posting bulletins, writing blogs, posting comments, picture comments and more.

Creating and joining groups is free, as is adding ramblings, rating users, face battles & tournaments, artist battles & tournaments, as well as many more features.
I would say add http://www.digg-bookmarks.com to this list
I would say add http://www.IPopU.com to that list, I have used them for a while, high rank, steady traffic, decent amount of members.
Thanks for sharing such a nice List.

Vladimire, while doing some research for my book to come out in 2009, I came across your web site listing the Top 100 social media sites. Valuable information! I would love to reference your web site with this information in my marketing book. Please let me know. Also could you check out my blog site and let me have your comments. I have been using blog posts as excerpts from my book writing and have some of the articles actually published online. See: http://www.exhib-it.com/blog/ and also see archived blogs. Our main page has three blogs we write (hopefully the other two are posted weekly by staff members) and the main page is http://www.exhib-it.com/pages/blogpage.html. I would love any feedback you have to offer. Great web site and very valuable information. :-)
Hi! Great list...have you or anyone else updated this with 2009 data? Love to see that...
Great blog you have here...impressive.

Hi..
Fatchex is refreshingly new and well orgnaized website for online shoppers who would like to get save much more by shopping online. This website provides almost all the online and instore coupons along with a fairly competetive cashback option. As a promotional offer they are giving full cashback(what ever they get paid in commissions minus 1% for operating expenses) and they are going to continue this for next 3-6 months. Cashback percentages for some of the marchants are not available anywhere on the internet. Though these maximum cashback percentages are promotional offer, site founders are confident to provide much competetive cash back even after the promotional period ends. Also they would like to offer full cashback for different occations through out the year.
Great List and a big timesaver.

Kathryn Skaggs
This is a great list, but I am unsure of what to do with this list. I do not know how to use these sites to my advantage. I am reading up on it, and once I figure out what I am actually supposed to do with these I am sure this list will be of great help. Thank you Vladimir! (even though I am not sure how this will help me yet)
Well done Vladimir! Superb list which one day will come in hand.
Thanks,
Martin.
A search engine may use hundreds of factors while ranking the listings where the factors themselves and the weight each carries may change continually.
Thanks Vlad!
I have also one another do-follow social bookmarking site which is :
http://www.spicybookmark.com
Hi all, dont forget the skyplanet.org site. I really like the 3D-world there.
Don't forget Pathable (http://www.pathable.com), social networking for conferences and events.
I would add http://www.IPopU.com to that list, its a pretty big Social Bookmarking site with 15,000+ members, and tens of thousands of submissions already. Clean simple layout, easy navigation, quick and easy submissions.Many categories to suite a variety of niches across the net.
Check it out.
Thanks for the list i found it very useful, i think its quite time taking to find these top social sites and listed it up rank wise and you have done great job.
I'm not able to understand why all following same comments for persian site they mentioned, and why dont you update it. Thanks for sharing.

Nice list of social media sites. It looks really hard to submit our favourite stuff on all of them. I just submit my favourite stuff on couple of them only
This is a great collection of sites. The social media sites seem to change so quick it is getting hard to keep track
That's quite a list. Thanks for the listing!

Hey Friend,
This is all really very usefully
Thanks for these 100 Social Sites its useful
Thank you Vladimir. Now I know more :)
Ps. I like the plugin Theme Test Drive, it's great.
Hi Pascal, your english is great. Alexa is a measure of website popularity - the lower the number the greater is popularity.
Hi, I'm Swiss and I can speak English very well, but I don't know the meaning of "Alexa". I tried to learn with the numbers. Famous sites like YouTube have a number like 4 or 34 and sites like hugg.com have numbers like 60'000.
Great List.
Thanks.
awesome links!
Another good article on this website!
Keep the good work going :)
Very helpful notes
Good collection. All at one place. I was looking for such a list.
Thanks for creating the list. Very useful.

Excellent list,thanks for the info,all the best in 2008
Great list, I already have a few of the major ones such as SU and Furl but I certainly don't have all of them. Thanks, I'll use a few of these after Christmas for my site. Happy Holidays all!
Awesome list, thank you! I've posted it on my blog for my readers to check out. Thanks for your time and effort!
Great lists. I am saving this lists. I really really needed this.
Thanks for that effort.
Interesting to see that a site at position 100 has alexa rank of only 56,000. Social media sites are very popular indeed.
Awesome list - Thanks for compiling it!
Thanks for sharing. Just found some new sites on your list.
This is great. Thank you so much.
Great list man, thanks for taking the time to compiling
