If you are searching for European youth online you may want to check out Net Log. Net Log boasts over 40 million members participating in over 20 unique languages.
A comcscore marked leader in page views for Belgium, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Romania and Turkey, NetLog boasts over 4 billion monthly pageviews.
I registered for NetLog this past weekend (though I am not a European user 
, and found the registration process refreshingly simple. During registration potential members are asked what they will be using NetLog for; making new friends or staying in contact with friends.
Navigation is simple offering:
* Overview
* Profile
* Guestbook
* Pictures
* Blog
* Clans
* Brands
* Videos
* Events
* Music
* Polls
* Links
* Applications
The ‘clans’ appears to be a unique European form of groups. Their Top Clan being an ‘Anime Lovers Clan’ with 5914 members. Which supports the Youth demographic. My niece is 20 and a huge Anime fan (though also an intelligent and articulate young woman).
My time was limited this weekend, so I didn’t get the opportunity to review the site and advertising options as in depth as I would have liked, though I did find the use of “brands” intriguing.
They also appear to be hiring multilingual Internet Savvy staff in a variety of positions.
So if European and youth demographics and contacts are of interest to you, stop by NetLog and join the 40 million strong members.
