Everyone wants a life (online), right? Well, Andrew Baio, co-founder of Upcoming.org, thought to get everyone looking for a life online and get them out the door to find a life away from their computer screens. His site compiles listings of coming events in various cities. Ahh, but how do you know who will be at these events? The answer to all our problesm: Social Networking. Users can post profiles, comments, photos, and network of friends can check each other's profiles out. Check it out.
The thing is, there are no shortages of these Mini-MySpaces out there. Sites like Ning.com (local-focused social network) threaten high school alumni reunion websites and other social networks. The question is, how many social networks can you be in before you start losing track of how social you are?
