Beside ResearchGate, Academia, Mendeley, what are the other social networking websites available in the Internet for Researchers / Academicians?
Among these social networking websites, which one do you like best? and Why?
This is a timely question.
A list of social networking websites is a available at

The 40 most popular social network websites worldwide are listed in

A good bibliography of research on social networking is given in

A major problem in all this, from a research point of view, is a lack of access to social networking data. In this regards, you may find the following poster (2013) interesting:
