More Social Networking

In reviewing more social networking sites this past week I stumbled across an article from Network World that included 10 sites for 2009. Some of the ones from that list that are worth taking a look at are:
  • Qik: video version of Twitter that lets you quickly most video captured on a mobile phone
  • Boxee: a dashboard tool that gathers video from all the major video places on the web
  • Loopt: made popular on the iPhone but not available on some other smartphones allow you to find your friends assuming they have a phone with GPS.
  • Blip.fm: a music version of Twitter that allows friends to share music lists
  • Power.com: a dashboard that interfaces with MySpace, Facebook, Hi5 and displays on a single screen.
  • Hi5: the most popular social network tool outside the US. Similar to Facebook.
