Those are some pretty cool mottos. I like NC's, but maybe I'm a little partial.

Amstaffie:
Well can't blame you to be partial, you have good reason to. It is better "To be rather than to seem" :)

Interesting layout on your blog. I really enjoyed reading it and also I will be back to read more in the future.

Thanks you. Very good post.Unless they can offer a really compelling reason for users to come back, it will be the next Bebo, MySpace
