Wink: Yet another social networking site
I often feel too old and too married when visiting social networking sites. Seems like everyone is involved to hook up, or hasn't graduated high school.
As a blogger, I use social networks as part of my overall strategy to get maximum exposure for my blogs. I don't know if general social sites do much good, but for the small time investment I think it's worth signing up.
Wink bills itself as "the people search engine." It culls information from the other social sites based on a name. You can control what results show for a search for your name by building a profile. As you can see in the screen shot, it is a simple layout. Best of all, it was easy to make it all about my blogs.
I have the Wink equivalent of Myspace's Tom as a friend, plus some guy from China who friended me. I only signed up a couple of hours ago, so it's hard to say if Wink is going to be useful.
If anyone decides to sign up, I'll accept you as a friend.
