Does not meet WP:WEB inclusion criteria. No WP:RS to indicate notability. Only one review, which states the website is a flop, and the other is a trivial quote from one of the site's founders. Leuko 19:00, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

• Comment. I have no view either way, but the site relaunched in 2007 as a customizable social network 1 and I seem to remember it received more favourable coverage (although I'd have to check for sources). There could be more to write about, but on the other hand, it could just be another social network. --kateshortforbob 19:36, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. This is what Marc Andreesen, Netscape brazillionaire, is doing with his cash and goodwill. Coverage by CNET, BW, WSJ, Globe & Mail, Mercury-News, etc. etc. This is a case where a Google search might have saved everyone the trouble of an AFD. --Dhartung | Talk 22:47, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
