Tuenti Tramples on Twitter in Spain but Facebook Flamenco Shrouded in Mystery

Tuenti (roughly pronounced "twenty") is the talk of the town, well Spanish towns and cities at least. Big in Barcelona , massive in Madrid and vital in Valencia and Vigo , Tuenti.com is, according to the 2009 Google Zeitgeist, the third fastest rising topic or search of the year with Twitter itself a place behind in fourth. In fact only the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson and Facebook outperform the underdog from Spain .

Often referred to as a "Spanish Facebook", Tuenti is essentially another social networking site, with many of the familiar tools and applications one would expect from such an application. However, finding out any more is pretty difficult, as it's primarily aimed at the Spanish population and it's also an invitation only party. Visiting the site's homepage you are greeted with a sky blue and fairly standard "Log in" page but unlike many other social networking sites there are no signs pointing to a "register here" area.

So unless you are one of the millions of Spanish users already enjoying Tuenti or you are privileged enough to have been invited in by someone, then for now at least some of the mystery will remain. Already three years in existence, there are apparently plans to expand the network but it remains committed to serving Spain first and foremost.

If you have your super sleuth hat on, you may discover the link to the Tuenti blog in the bottom right hand corner but if you don't speak Spanish, then you will have to click the "translate" button if you want to delve deeper into things unknown and uncover exclusive information about Google's third hottest property this year!

Perhaps, if I write about it very nicely and promise to learn the Spanish language, someone will be kind enough to invite me into the inner circle known as Tuenti?
