Social networking sites or any other websites which give good services and benefits to the users are very good and UAE need these kinds of things. There are many people who want to come up with new ideas but all of them afraid from telecom rules as they can block any site like Orkut.

Well in the online world you can chat with people around the world. Socialising online is incomparable to real-life socialising. You need to be sure to get out from behind your computer and talk to your friends in real life. Otherwise, you'll end up a 40 year old unmarried loser, who doesn't have any real friends. It's alright to socialise on the internet, just have a life. If you spend all of your time online, you might find yourself saying 'lol' in an actual conversation.

I would love to socialise on networking sites, but I do not want to risk starting all over again because telecoms block websites, even if they are proved safe and clean (such as Flickr and Multiply).

Social networking sites are a good medium for keeping in touch with friends. However users should be careful of befriending new people online. If used for staying in contact with your close group or network, it is actually a social blessing.

Social networking sites open doors for communication specially for expatriates. The world gets smaller for people to stay in touch and to gain new friends even away from home. Though abuse of the social networking site is imminent, users ensuring proper use of site can enjoy socialisation in every part of the world.

I just cannot fathom why so much undue importance is placed on such depraved sites.Why would I need such sites to befriend a person?Why would I need such sites to keep in touch with friends?Why would I need such sites to express my likes?

Oh, I simply love Facebook. These social networking sites are just excellent! Not only to meet people, but to get business contacts. I have received several business queries and potential deal over Facebook.These sites also give a great way to keep in touch and find friends you thought you have lost to distance. Long live Facebook and other social networking websites!

I hope etisalat will block this two site also, similar to other 'western' based networking site. I hope etisalat will be consistent with their commitment to block all networking sites from their network... Good job Etisalat!!!
