What is Flapon?
Flapon is a topic-based social networking service, which means that
users interact and create social networks based on mutual interests.
Flapon features include an interactive blogging/forum function called "Flap"
which allows users to write about and discuss topics of mutual interest, as
well as upload images and video from their computer or grab them from the
web. Users can easily meet new people based on those mutual interests
without muddling through thousands of forums online. "
