COME TOGETHER: Got Facebook fatigue or tired of Twitter? There's plenty of other sites out there for a fix of social networking.

Research by Nielsen suggests 80 per cent of online Kiwis visit Facebook each month, while Twitter is the third most popular social media site in the country, with 431,000 people visiting it in October.

But look beyond the two blue behemoths, and you'll find a wide range of sites to suit all social types and tastes.

PINTEREST

This social scrapbooking site attracted 10 million users faster than any other social networking site and is currently the fourth most popular site in the United States, with an estimated 85.5 million unique monthly visitors. Members post pictures on topics of interest on their "boards" and can follow friends and other members who do the same.

TAGGED

Similar to Facebook, Tagged lets you set up profiles, message friends, play games and post photos. It has more than 300 million members and is the ninth most popular site in the US.

GOOGLE PLUS

Google's Facebook rival is steadily gaining on its bigger brother. The service lets you group people into different circles, eg work, friends and family, so you can share different content with different groups, video chat with contacts, and get news and content on topics you're interested in delivered straight to your profile.
