#18 Social Networking

As for structure and looks, of three popular general sites listed in the discovery exercise, I prefer Facebook over Ning over Myspace. Facebook's look and content appears more targeted and serious. Same with Ning. Some of the specific sites like threadless and ratemyspace don't have that slick look, but I guess that's the point. Wouldn't rate some of the spaces in ratemyspace very high but there are some good ideas and some of those spaces certainly rate higher than my own. Once again, didn't realize the volume of users and the breadth of topics in these types of sites. Definitely an area that I want to explore further.
