I'm sitting here with Sean Kelly and Lily Cheng, in Microsoft Research. We're checking out the latest social software networks. For instance:
A very young audience, but doing some real interesting stuff.Why do I like what Lili and Sean show me? They get me out of my echo chamber. For instance, I haven't been playing with LiveJournal much lately, but it has more than a million people doing some interesting network spaces.
Are you seeing anything online that is cool in weblog/diaries/social software? I'm gonna have lunch with Marc Canter next week. I can't wait to see what he shows me.
Oh, there's a ton of social network people coming to Microsoft next week. I'll write more about that on Monday.

Let's see:
- Midentity - just went v1.0
- MediaChest - is boring
- Orkut - took down stats for good now
- Tribe.net - got a new look
- Yafro - is hot
One funny thing - Lili emailed tonight asking that I not heckle anyone during her thingie. :-) Now I wonder who can be worried?
