Wanted: Financially Viable Social Networks

Chistletoe, you had a good thing going until the end. I like my virtual friends from Greenview, Illinois, and Denmark, South Carolina, much better than the face-to-face people on my block. But we're mostly on Yahoo and Google lists and on blogs rather than "social networking" sites.

I like LinkedIn for its interesting discussions and appropriate ads (which I sometimes even click! they're relevant!). If only I could delink a certain individual who's self-promotion is appalling.

Facebook is just a mess.
