Sector: Social Networking  (53 companies ranked)
Released: May 24, 2011
*
*
After reviewing almost two hundred companies that claimed, in one way or another, to be a social network, we came away impressed with how many of them are thriving in Facebook's shadow. We found a significant number of companies that have found millions of users with small amounts of money. Check out Tuenti, deviantArt, GoodReads, Mendeley and Touch Local as examples of capital efficient companies.
Highlights
Our Favorite: Yammer
Most Likely to be Acquired: Netlog
Stealth Money Maker: CafeMom
Ready for IPO: Oak Pacific Interactive

Yammer has created 100,000 private social network for companies. They create business value, however, not dates.
