I watched the video -- Social Networking in Plain English; I took the Facebook tour, and I read the Newsweek article on the growth of Facebook. Then I looked around:
MySpace - http://www.myspace.com/ I just don't get it. When I read People magazine at least I don't have to deal with the pop-up ads.
Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/ I took the tour but I still can't answer the question, why? Why would I want to do this? Is it like an ongoing once a year Christmas letter? I also can't figure out what to do with it. If I want to stay in touch with people, I call them on the phone, or write them a letter, or send them an e-mail. I have an account because a colleague invited me to join the Urban Public Library Group, but I seldom check it, and when I do there's nothing new there. (Cheese to go with the whine may be found below) 
Nevertheless, I am determined to crack the esoteric group known as Harris County Public Library, and I shall persevere until successful. And I’m sending an invitation to my kids – they’ll know how this thing works.
- Ning - http://www.ning.com/ It's nice there are so many social networks, I guess.
Yahoo!360 - http://360.yahoo.com/ Is this any different from having a blog?
Xanga - http://www.xanga.com/ The same thing with videos
LinkedIn - http://www.linkedin.com/ I joined this when I was test driving search engines. I was looking for a friend who had moved to - Rate My Space - http://ratemyspace.hgtv.com/ But there are no libraries! Who cares about people who don’t hoard books? Well, maybe if they have snarky cats.
- MyOpera - http://my.opera.com/ huh?
- Infield Parking - http://www.infieldparking.com/ social networking for piston heads
- Dogster, Catster - http://www.dogster.com/ , http://www.catster.com/
- OMG! Cat vacuum videos:
Still, I prefer the LOL cats on http://icanhascheezburger.com/page/6/
