The new site looks good, features could give facebook a run for there money? I agree with empty profiles tho.. I don't think we support local companies enough, hence why all the success stories are abroad. I say c'mon bham.. or Coventry even! youmeo is new, if I read correctly, I’d heard of pplparty.. got an account on there somewhere.
