Ask HN: Social Network Alternatives?

No. Nothing nearly of that scope. And that's what you need. Broad coverage.

LinkedIn maybe, but I've deleted (very useless) account there, and hate them from the depths of my soul. Someone called LinkedIn a virus and I tend to agree. I'd also trust them far less than those two you've mentioned, solely on their technical incompetence.

I'm curious why you dislike LinkedIn so much?

No? In my case, it didn't text, I selected some of Twitter friends for it to send invites.
