The Next Generation Of Social Networking Sites
FaceSpace and MyBook are out, these badboys are in. I’ve stumbled across a few “social networking” sites over the past few days that are definitely worth a look or two from you, my loyal reader[s]: Open Source Food: exchange recipes, have your own rated by your fellow man and drool over the quick pictures of…
