You would notice that i havent given any scores for this very reason. You would appreciate that here at WATBlog, we cover trends etc. and we have been observing this space throughout the year so this is a compilation of the trends that we think are much bigger than others. Indian Moms - we have a post on the India Scene soon - today mostly! Sumedh - no quantifiable criteria for choosing the website. You would notice that i havent given any scores for this very reason.

Never thought of that! I guess if more features and more 'power' is left in the hands of the consumer, then it will be a potent force. The idea is great. Thanks a lot Andreas! ning.com seems extremely interesting - but isnt it the same as creating a group or event within facebook - what are the additional features?

ditto for sixgroups.

I would mention sites that allow people to create their own social networks for special purposes - the long tail of social networking - such as http://ning.com by former Netscape founder Marc Andresen or the European community platform http://sixgroups.com. Interesting list.
