The thinking behind it was that one massive social network, Facebook, couldn’t suffice the needs of each and every individual out there. Facebook is great for staying in touch with friends and family, but it is far too broad reaching to cater to everyone.
Fast forward to present day and there’s a nearly overwhelming number of social outlets for designers to promote themselves on and network with others. In this article I’ve listed six of the most prominent social networks for designers available today.

Five of the six networks listed here are invite only, so along with covering the sites I’ve also got a few invites to give away:
