techcrunch.com — The best place to tell secrets may not be while speaking to a room full of journalism students at New York University.

I agree with the linked article, I don't think that Rolling Stone's readership is hip to the Social Networking scene.Trust me though, I have seen ideas for even weirder social networks than this one...

Too bad mog is already doing this. And much better than decrepit Rolling Stone could hope to.

I'll tell you what. Rolling Stone needs to hire me to launch the social network. I have studied pop culture and the Internet extensively. If RSM would start featuring Cyber Spacer's on the cover they will win back the X, Y, and Z generation. What is "Z" you ask?
