I think the most popular social network is Facebook. But as others said, people are looking for small services to solve a small problem.
studiVZ wasn't cool anymore. We missed the point for a rebrand to open the plattform for other people. "studi" is a abbreviation for student. Our answer was a new brand called meinVZ (just another UI, same database). Together with the ability to provide new cool features (e.g. Apps, Activity stream, i18n) it was just a question of time until FB was getting the market leadership.
Both questions can be answered with Facebook. For messaging though, Whatsapp is very common here these days. I don't like the service at all, but you're almost out of the loop if you avoid it - well, at least among my friends.
Living in Vancouver, I disagree. Craigslist is still the main buy/sell website here. I've tried to use Kijiji a couple of times with the same results as the original poster - not much response.

Check out the Motorola F3. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_FONE_F3. It has an e-Ink display, so you can read the clock without having to push a button and the battery life is awesome.
Any way to use one of those on Verizon? Googling around, people claim that (a) the F3c (CDMA version) isn’t available in the US, and (b) non-Verizon-branded phones can’t be made to work on their network.
