Some keep on going for years (with the crowd getting older), others come and go out of fashion in a matter of months - only to appear again with a different name and look somewhere else.

It seems hard. I do need to put more time into it admittedly. As far as the next big social networking thing is - I've got my eye on FriendFeed - http://friendfeed.com I love it's search capabilities - much better than Twitter's. Interestingly, http://friendfeed.com/friends/search was recently introduced to allow easy import of "friends" from the other platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Gmail etc) so it's easy to get started. I think the main thing lacking locally is that our communities are not really using it yet - so we stay with Twitter, Facebook and blogs for now. I do think its one to watch though! Cheers Tony Hi Kate,

I agree with you. Social network sites are just like technology. Eventually they go out of style and something better is put in front of it. Keep the good info coming.
