" What is Flapon? Flapon is a topic-based social networking service, which means that users interact and create social networks based on mutual interests.

Users can easily meet new people based on those mutual interests without muddling through thousands of forums online. "

Sketchcasting is new but it's based on an old principle: the whiteboard (or the napkin in a bar) on which you sketch something to get a concept across... or to just have some fun. "
