On Youtube, you can view videos and have fun commenting on other videos. But you don't really get a traditional profile page in the same way you do on Google+ or Facebook. And, the profile page is traditional for a social network. Then again, you have a username and can upload videos and make comments on your videos and interact with other users. In that way, it has a video blogging type platform.
What do you think? Is Youtube really a social network?

Even Google thinks Youtube might be a social network similar to Twitter. [url]http://research.google.com/pubs/pub37738.html[/url] [QUOTE]YouTube is the largest user-driven video content provider in the world; it has become a major platform for disseminating multimedia information. A major contribution to its success comes from the user-to-user social experience that differentiates it from traditional content broadcasters. This work examines the social network aspect of YouTube by measuring the fullscale YouTube subscription graph, comment graph, and video content corpus. We ?nd YouTube to deviate signi?cantly from network characteristics that mark traditional online social networks, such as homophily, reciprocative linking, and assortativity. However, comparing to reported characteristics of another content-driven online social network, Twitter, YouTube is remarkably similar. Examining the social and content facets of user popularity, we ?nd a stronger correlation between a user’s social popularity and his/her most popular content as opposed to typical content popularity.[/QUOTE]
