Due to the <a href="http://www.smmguru.com/1114-sortable-do-follow-blogs-with-pagerank" rel="nofollow">someone else's stupidity</a>, I will be removing all comments that do not add substantial value to this article. If I feel that those commenting are being blatantly self-promotional, I will either trim their URL down to the base, remove their URL, or just remove the comment all together. And finally, all comments within the the body of a comment do not pass any PageRank... Hi guys!

It's also something I've discussed myself recently too, in my "<a href="http://www.blahblahtech.com/2008/09/social-networking-britain-ignores-while-us-explores.html" title="Social Networking — Britain ignores while US explores" rel="nofollow">Social Networking — Britain ignores while US explores</a>" article...

Think about newsgroups, forums etc prior to facebook and myspace. Think about ICQ, instant messaging, email for goodness sakes!

However, I'm in agreement with the other comments, that anything like MySpace etc would become a nuisance.

If it were to migrate more to a social network like MySpace, I hope it doesn't end up turning into a mini dating and spam site. While I'm sure MySpace has thousands of legitimate users, all I ever seem to get out of it is is spam to my account.

In a nutshell, <a href="http://diso-project.org/" rel="nofollow">DiSo Project</a> is all about creating a social network that you control with your site as the main tool, and a number of add-on Plugins and other open source technologies that enable the creation of true social interactions.

When I used to run my own blog about a year ago, I regularly used to sign into the WordPress ‘hub’ to see what was going on in the blogging community.

I like checking out the blogs with that much needed information. Bravo to those who post informational blogs, they really help! Also, I really hope that WordPress does not turn into another MySpace. It is one place I can go and speak my mind and no one tries to flirt with you and get you into bed just because you wanted to compliment their work. Stay the same WordPress, please!
