      <![CDATA[Check out the Appleseed Project! It is an open source social networking project that came up with the concept of "circles"--and called them "circles"--before Facebook even released their unwieldy "groups."<br>
<br>
It's still in development, but it allows you to have friends across different social networking sites, so if one site is screwing around with your privacy, you can just jump to another without losing all of your contacts.<br>

      <![CDATA[I think social networking is a pretty cool concept. Honestly. My only issues are based entirely in Privacy controls and inability to hide your personal life from web searches. Other than that - it's pretty cool. I don't love FB. But it's pretty fucking handy at keeping in contact with my Epic Bros.

      <![CDATA[Goon, I agree.  I've never posted anything.  Used to check it every once in awhile to keep up with my more loquacious friends.  Haven't been back in months.<br>

The fact is that 99% of people aren't that interesting, myself included.

      <![CDATA[I'm stunned that I'm not the only person who thinks that social networking is for assholes.  I feel so alone in that sentiment.  Maybe I should make some kind of social network on the computer so that I can meet these other people that hate social networking.
