I have discovered a social networking site today. The site is www.perfspot.com. Apparently it is the fastest growing social networking site right now. I am not entirely convinced that this can overtake facebook and become the number one just yet with its current look and networking facilities.
It offers most of the usual features of social networking, including newsfeeds, customisable profile options and the option of linking photos to other users' profiles plus unlimited space to upload images and videos. It also provides an URL for the user which is also common features in hi5, myspace and the likes.
It does, however, have some extra features which are not available in facebook. For example, it lets the user create his/her own network which wasn’t available in the facebook. This gives the users outside the developed world to include their education and work networks in the site.

Personally, I like the ease of use of the site, and the little extra effort they've taken to make it easier to customize your profile. Myspace loves to make it's users outsource for a simple code to customize thier background. I don't understand that, if it's so easy why not just give the user what he needs to do it on his own?
Either way, they've done a good job mixing features that other social networking sites have skipped and have been slowly but surely striving to achieve the "one-stop shop" of features in all social networks.
