Facebook is big, it’s crowded, and if you’re simply looking for a place to connect with family and friends, then it’s definitely overwhelming. As the most popular social site on the internet, Facebook gives you more opportunities to meet people online than anywhere else, and that’s the problem.
There are alternatives though. Whether you want to share your interests, connect with other moms, or share your photos with family and friends, there are plenty of sites to do just that without getting overwhelmed with all the things to do. Below you’ll find 15 places to connect that are just as much fun as Facebook and easier to navigate.
Show others what’s important to you, connect with your favorite sites across the internet, and share this information with those you care about. As one of the top five most visited websites on the internet, it’s also a great place to promote your business and connect with your family and friends. Much easier to navigate than Facebook, and my favorite on the list.

Of all the Facebook alternatives I’ve seen, Enukee.com has to be my favorite.

Recently Enukee and Diaspora have gained a lot of steam from the Facebook Fallout. Both are privacy based websites. Personally I prefer Enukee but both sites are great.
