From wikipedia

"A social networking website is one that focuses on building online communities of people who share interests and/or activities, or who are interested in exploring the interests and activities of others. Most social network services are web based and provide a variety of ways for users to interact, such as e-mail and instant messaging services."

Size doesn't decide whether or not it is considered a social networking site. Facebook and MySpace are the big ones, but there are literally thousands of smaller social networking platforms out there. The site you were asking about "Piktalk" is a good example of a smaller niche social networking site.

Social networking sites are sites where people gather around and make some updates. Piktalk.com could be one.
