Facebook.com: Facebook is a bonding site because you can access friends, colleagues, family, and classmates quickly. With the message wall feature, it's easy to drop a quick note in a shorter time that it would take to make a phone call or even type a text message.
Twitter.com: Twitter is the internet's newest, and debatably most bizarre, social network site. With people migrating over from other social network sites, and celebrities creating their own to keep their fans in the know about future projects, concerts, and filming on a movie or television series, it's become a great bridging network but it also serves as a bonding site because people are able to quickly send notes to one another regarding a post or just a random thought.
Amazon.com: Amazon is one of the best bridging sites because it offers just about everything and it would be almost impossible not to find something of interest. Books, movies, dvds, electronics, posters, clothing, etc. are all on that site with easy access.
eBay.com: e-Bay is one of the older bridging sites that seems to be fading out in favor of other, more secure sites, but e-Bay is another site that has more things for sale than you would ever think of buying. Things on e-Bay range from the practical (a new DVD set that would be much more expensive in the store, textbooks for a fraction of the price, etc.) to the bizarre (napkins that people claim are touched by certain celebrities, food in the shape of the Virgin Mary, etc.) but it's a site that's so diverse that everyone can find something of interest.
Craigslist.org: Craigslist is one part MySpace, two parts e-Bay, and one part uncanny. You can advertise to sell just about everything on Craigslist from a couch and a television to looking up someone's personal ad. It's not as easy to navigate through as e-Bay or Amazon sometimes but it's much more entertaining and sometimes the advertisements are actually humorous (check http://craigslist.org/about/best/den/1188385012).
