    What do Blogger or ICQ have directly to do with it?

    How about 1200 categorized social sites:

    Yuri,

    There are many ways to give your site exposure on both icq and blogger. Both have evolved from what they were in the beginning to full blown social networking sites.

    That list you posted seems pretty comprehensive, thanks for sharing.
