Social Networking Services Meta List.

I have marked all new updates to this list, since 01 May 2004, with an asterisk (*).

The transition of this list to a “parking place” in the right hand column is still in the planning stage. It is still
my desire to set up a wiki space associated with the ongoing discussion of this list, along with a topical news
aggregation system for details related to each service.

Comments, appropriate links, and recommendations for additions and deletions are welcome—as always.
