Andy's cre8Buzz Blog
I admit it! Cre8Buzz was where this thought came together for me.

It has been really fun, this ride, this SN, with each of you. Kudos to the designers / engineers at C8B.
Cheers

I posted at http://JustAPersona.com the wackiness of this contest. I won't re-post it here, but I think it's worth reflection.
We have customized products on the web.
We have video contest by brands, as well.
Here, they mix the two - yet claim you don't have to buy a car to enter it?
Okay, this is silly.
...I suggest a subcategory to this video contest... ;-)
So, which social network would you rather to find your spouse hanging out at?
A local radio station had call-ins last week on "how MySpace ruined your marriage," and the lines lit up.
And here's one for the newly-divorced.
Mashable's Kristen Nicole did a nice write up on it, straddling the obvious tragedy-comedy:
"What makes this network stand out from the rest (aside from the topic) is the top charts for break up songs and the auction section where you can get rid of that shiny, sparkling reminder of the relationship that just didn't work out–the ring."
Meanwhile, if you're married but not yet ready to let it go for the sake of acceptance at IDoNowIDon't, you might turn your spouse's mouse to CouplesWorldWide - sort of a "Table for Six" approach for meeting other, similar couples.
Anyone seen any social networks for toddlers? (I think that's all that's left.)
This isn't really a valid post, I admit. But i just came across this and had to share.
One of her sons (or, grandsons?) is leadership at a software company, but still...
That's pretty cool.
I think it's interesting how the "Recent Visits" makes this site feel.
I was just checking out a different site, OkCupid!, and found this page about it:
http://www.okcupid.com/stalker
My (NEW) account shows: "Sorry, no one has stalked you recently. Don't worry, we still love you."
In the sidebar, there's this passage:
Hi There,
Here at OkCupid, we've harnessed the mighty forces of technology to bring you a new, life-changing feature. Stalkers have been around since prehistoric times, quietly eyeing their prey, waiting for the opportune moment to strike. Now, unlike the wooly mammoths of yesterday, you can find out who's watching before they stick something pointy into you! That's right: with our new OkStalker service, we show you who's viewed your profile.
Of course, nothing is without its caveats. You can opt to browse anonymously, which means that your profile views won't be recorded. If you do, though, you'll lose the ability to see who has stalked you. You can modify this setting at any time, on your settings page.
