linkedin is actually pretty cool. if used properly, you can expand your business relationships.orkut would be another option for the older-than-high-school crowd.<a class="user" href="http://orkut.com">http://orkut.com</a>
I think all of these sites is a bit of a fad in itself. I mean stuff like this has popped up and down over the course of the internet and each one will have its share of the light. The community sites will continue to be built and torn down. It's like a TV show, people get addicted for a while and when the stories start to get repetitive and less 'fresh' they bail on it for something more entertaining for the moment.
If you seriously don't understand that he used all of those cliches on purpose, then maybe you should learn the art of sarcasm. I know it's kind of harder to sense online, but god damn that was obvious.
I came across this other site called Tagworld.com and also gorillaexchange.com. They too seem to be building a massive user base by offering a different angle to those of the facebooks and myspaces. I wonder which direction all these entities will go with such engagement and rich user bases.
I read about this website simialr to all these called KissTheToad.co.uk however it seems to be "Thinking outside the box" as you put it in the sense they are using a pretty cool theme and not bombarding you with adverts all the time.The theme i was talking about is related to the fairy tale kiss the toad and get your prince etc im not sure if it's live now but i read about it a few weeks ago someone on about it and the development etc .... Anyway i like the route this site is going down less adverts more people ! :)

There is also one geared more towards adults, but also positioned as a "clean" social network that's more family-oriented, called MyGoodFriends. Kind of like a MySpace that your mom would use.<a class="user" href="http://www.mygoodfriends.com/">http://www.mygoodfriends.com/</a>
