Instagram
Pinterest
Tumblr - half the traffic
is under 25; this is a microblogging platform and social networking
site; it recently beat FB as #1 destination site for teens in a survey
Twitter
Video chat - not just Skype and Facetime but social video chat sites like OoVoo and Tango
SnapChat

within 90 seconds"
