    if you select the wrong one, the USPTO might not let you change it.  there are cases invalidating trademark registrations with the wrong classification.

    It`s under Class 45.  "Online social networking services"
     
    But I agree with James that you should have a trademark attorney file for you in order to keep you from losing your priority date with an incorrect filing.
     
    Just my $.02...
