No we will be going somewhere - probably the lakes. Not staying at home as that would be rubbish

Friends reunited was a similar phenom, but I think that's got terminal pnuemonia now."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

Facebook?
1. Simple and easy to use.
2. The UI is consistent, meaning the information takes priority, and comes to the fore.
3. Lots of people are already on it, so you're more likely to find people you know.
4. Unlike Friends Reunited, it's interactive and involving.
5. It fills the gap in the market: Linkedin is too formal, Bebo too young, Myspace too chaotic, Orkut poorly designed.Comment

Social networking
Even the CIA have been given their own social networking site a la Facebook (see http://www.politicsonline.com/blog/a...cia_socnet.php).
I wouldn't say though that SA was about having your website hosted for cheap. The content you can post is way too constrained, but it does give a wonderfully easy means of constructing sites that are engaging socially by aggregating your content and experiences with other peoples.
MySpace though is glued together by music, and just about anything is available . Dame Shirley Bassey's my favourite, http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...endid=79959328 esp. since she agreed to be my friend and left a comment on my page .
Facebook has a more mature professional profile drawing a lot of young professionals or students. It seems very popular for freshers at Uni to make contact before they arrive with other freshers.
If you fancy setting up your own site try using Elgg to build your own social networking site. It's neat and easy to install if you have a LAMP patform available.

I never really felt like I was away.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment
