oh the networking platforms....

I am now officially hooked on openbc. true, it might not be as fun as myspace, or facebook, or friendster. but!!
this is a platform founded in Germany, with a strong focus on business networking. you can find your former colleagues, or people who went to the same university. might be useful in finding new jobs. maybe.
but there are also accounts of people meeting on there and starting to like each other. :)
and, the best thing: when you start using it, you have a one-month free premium membership. (after that, you'll be downgraded to a non-premium membership, which is also free.)
as long as you're a premium member, you can not only see how many times your page has been viewed, but you can also see WHO VIEWED IT! that's pretty wild. and sometimes very interesting :)
