Just curious, did you program it or use software? I'm a fan of niche social networks. My new favorite is <a href="http://www.uplej.com" rel="nofollow">uPlej.com</a>. You and your network can subscribe to give to your favorite charity. Everyone pays $4.95 a month and $4 goes to the nonprofit of your choice. However, anyone in your network automatically gives $1 to your cause along with the donation they give to the charity they pick. Check it out. From a marketers perspective - you have to love a subscription plan. Also, the SEO value (you can optimize your profile/URL, etc with "follow" links). Then there is the impact it can have on individual lives as many people give a little to help out. Best, Janet Joe,
