Of course, I think the study may be stretching the envelope just a bit when it considers YouTube and Flickr as 'social networking' sites. Closer to the truth is that the sites were popular for the service they provided, and community sprang up around them; Facebook, MySapce and so on started out with community as the focal point and developed from there. Same diff when considering what's down the road as far as development and best practices though. Interesting.
