What is SNIKI?
Sniki is a social networking wiki built to help you share and discover new social networks, social marketing campaigns, tracking tools and users with similar interests.
Social Software, Social Media, Social Marketing… Tracking… WHY?
Social software is useful for many reasons – conducting market research, understanding modern public relations, and networking relief workers after a disaster are but a few.
Different missions require different social software.
Many novice end users will probably know their mission requirements, but will not know which Web 2.0 tools are the best fit. As a first step towards helping such users, this “social software encyclopedia” catalogs over 1000 social networking sites and begins to describe their properties.
We encourage you to use this social networking wiki for your research, and to contribute to it as well!

Social Networking List and Information to Help You Compare or Leverage Social Media.

What is Social Media?
What is "Social Media" or in many cases it is also called "New Media"? These titles simply stand for a network of online sites designed to connect people in communities across the world via the web. Online photo sharing, video streams, audio networks, facebook, myspace, microblogs, schedule sharing the list goes on and on.
This wiki is a list of social networks and new media categorized and arranged by how you can leverage them for your personal benefit (to choose which one you like the best), to share ideas and opinions, and to teach companies where their consumers are online.
Who started this wiki and why?
In the long run I, Desarae A. Veit or my username on all of these networks desaraev (dveit.com), started this list for myself and a client (Mark Drapeau of the Department of Defense). This list helps me to categorize and arrange the nearly 1,000 social sites I'm a part of and in the long run helps me to leverage each of these sites for my many clients looking to join their consumers in the online space or just to learn more about their consumer's persona, their wants, needs, and how they can connect on a deeper level.

A Quick Set of "Guidelines"
- Wikis are editable pages that YOU create.
- No one has "forgotten" or "left out" anything. You just haven't added it yet.
- YOU can edit this. You have the power.
- If you want some credit make a comments box at the bottom of the page (NOT in the pages) and say something about what you added
- If you want to recommend someone join this site send them an invite.
- (Everything has a chance for abuse. Please help police this.)
- The basic idea is to give people a starter point to find something new and interesting.
- There is no one authority. If you've clicked Edit, you have the same power as everyone else.
- AND Yes, some pages have been blocked from edited, but they are few and far between. The main pages, the navigation, and the founders pages are about it. So start sharing information!
