Overun by Social Websites

How many social networking sites do we need? I guess you could say “the
bubble is baaaack!”  

Famster is a Flash based social networking site
with a long list of features. Created by Whittier California web design company
Ivenue, itís an attempt to take online social networking mainstream for adults.
Thereís no clear business model yet and I find the siteís branding a little
creepy, but the feature set is staggering and the site is so well designed that
itís likely to win over a lot of people in its target audience.

Features include
1GB of ìfiling cabinetî storage, 1 GB of encoded video storage, a Famstermail
email account with 1 GB of storage, unlimited photo uploads, scrapbook pages, a
blog, a simple RSS reader, calendering, to-do list sharing, contacts lists with
Yahoo! maps integration, a recipes section with 23,000 preloaded recipes and a
place to store your own and several other family oriented features (like family
tree mapping).
