Facebook already has 100 million members, while Myspace broke through this barrier two years ago and now has more than 200 million members. However, complete networking has not yet been achieved: According to a survey by 20 Minuten Online, only 47 percent of Internet users in this country are members of an online community. Moreover, more than half of them spend less than five hours a week on virtual networks.
