Tired of Facebook?

For those of you who would like more control over your social network in terms of range, type, issues, etc.  check out the website below.  It offers 9 different sites that allow you to customize your social network to your needs and desires, unlike Facebook which determines the parameters of your network. 

Some of these sites also offer unique services such as social networking/web hosting in an attempt to combine oft-used services into one for ease and comfort.  Most of these sites have a ways to go before it catches up to Facebook, but for those who wish they had more control over the parameters of their network, checking out one of the 9 sites at the website below, might be worthwhile.  Of course the biggest, problem for these sites will be sustainability because while you may like it and use it, the problem might be in convincing your friends and others to use, given these sites are nascent and not mainstream as Facebook.
