Some interesting links and news from social networking arena.

DanceJam is YouTube for Dance. People would post video clips where they dance and then can compete with other dances. Check out this interview for more details. Their web site is still closed, but stay tuned if you’re interested in that sort of thing.

UpDown proves once again that social networking is not only for fun. Project is built upon an idea that community of like minded people can perform better analysis and come up with better investing strategies. UpDown offers many different services, such as investing competitions and allows creating your personal investing profiles. So far this service is receiving very positive feedback.

BeliefNet is a social network dedicated to religious devotees, spiritual leaders, and faith-based group. This once again proves that social networks are no longer dating and band fan gathering places.

Befaft is a very interesting or rather unusual network. This social network is dedicated to plastic surgery patients. Users can ask for advise whether they need plastic surgery in the first place. The site also offers tools to simulate effects of the plastic surgery. Ex-patients can post their pre and post surgery pictures.

PetSugar is yet another social network, but not really for us, humans… It’s a social network for girlie dogs! Polls, votings, comments, suggestions, pet food selections, even pet celebrities. All you (sorry, your dog) can find on PetSugar.

Enemybook plays rather negative note. List your enemies, unite with enemies of your enemies. Tell others why your enemies are in the list. It’s not a social network site, it is a Facebook application however. There are more networks that represent the opposite side of social networks. Coming back to security in the social networks one should always keep in mind that socialising online can sometimes cause a lot of grief.
