Talk:Netlog

I don't get why it's says that the site was founded in 2004 ? I think these are the right years. Note that before 2005 the website was only active in Belgium.

1999: asl.to was founded 2002: asl.to became redbox 2005: launch of facebox 2006: launch of netlog —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.11.191.101 (talk) 09:02, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

The number of users is not properly referenced. The quote is from Nov 2007, and the data apparently belong to mid 2008. --Xabier Cid (talk) 19:47, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Spam
The "Spam" section needs citation, or should be removed. Ruebrylla 21:43, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Curious how these things tend to "disappear" from the article, even if there are sources. // tsca @ 14:28, 26 April 2007 (UTC) $


 * There are three citations that describe this, it should remain in the article to reflect NPV. Enquire (talk) 00:51, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

I added a Spam section after having been fooled by Netlog. I must say that I was very disappointed with Wikipedia. The first thing I did when I received an invitation to join Netlog was to go to Wikipedia to check it out. I figured that Wikipedia would have an article that would let me judge it this organization was well-behaved or not. After reading the article I decided it could be trusted.

Then to my dismay, it spammed everyone in my contact list and every friend on Facebook.

I feel like the Wikipedia community let me down.

I added the Spamming section in the hope that I'll spare the next person the pain I'm going through now as I apologize to everyone in my contacts list and all my Facebook friends. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rtycast (talk • contribs) 04:47, 18 July 2011 (UTC) Someone removed the section on spamming again. Why? is there a shill here on wikipedia acting on behalf of Netlog? After the initial incident, the addresses in my contact lists continue to get spam from Netlog. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.174.47.163 (talk) 13:07, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

I tried to reformulate this paragraph to be more neutral. 95.117.250.24 (talk) 20:26, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Name change?
Was the name changed from Facebox to Netlog because, facebook told them to change or else (bully boy tactics)? 86.166.28.131 (talk) 21:45, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

netlog in catalan
netlog Catalan language has been eliminated and all users and profiles.

In most English countries too it has changed to Twoo and has to be paid for.

Situation today?
I don't think that Netlog still is a "social network", as the requirement for social networks is people that are using them. Reading this article, it seems as if Netlog is a social network just as Twitter, Google+ or Facebook, which is obviously not true: In Austria, which is relatively near to Belgium, only 1% of the population is using Netlog. Also, I think that in my whole life I've never seen a Netlog-sharing button.

Please update this article! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.166.186.22 (talk) 23:48, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
