Noog!
The social networking thing is all the craze nowadays. Everyone seems to be trying to get into it one way or the other which is not necessarily a bad thing, but with all those options available, it is hard to find the best networking site that suits your needs. I have been using Orkut for about 4 years now and I like it for the community support that it provides. The only other site that I use is surprise surprise, facebook. But i am not hooked to it. The only reason I use it is because I get to share pictures on it as it is really easy to do.
Anyway, a very good friend of mine, Abidoon, is going to launch his own social networking thing, known as Noog. Noog is only targetting the student community thus letting them to share academic information and keeping in touch. From what I have seen, the site looks extremely professional and well managed. it is not only that, its look is totally different than what you normally see. Abidoon is planning to launch it in a week's time and I am wishing him all the best. once you ppl get your hands on it, you will understand that how outstanding is the work that Aby has done.
