Coming Soon Fainit

Have you ever looked for a plumber? Do you know the best restaurant in your city? Do you ask your friends to know the best services and places?

I've been working the whole past month in a collaboratively site to share the best places and services with your friends and with the world. Now I have the first beta, the chosen name is fainit.com, it's a really beta service and for this period I have a limited number of users, try to register and start to share your recommendations.

Behind fainit there is a grails project, and great experience developing my first social network.

Enjoy the site and send me feedback.

Are social networks useful?

In other post I said that networks like delicious, had changed my habits in internet. I have read some entries about the wonderful Linkedin and Facebook, and I have decided to test them.

First, I have tested Facebook and tried to do contacts. I don't trust to give my email password, and I searched contacts manually but I don't felt lucky, not found any friend.

Next, Linkedin. I searched contacts who had worked with me and I found four contacts, but today no one has added me to his network, I don't believe that they really use Linkedin. If somebody wants to add me to his network this is my profile in Linkedin.

In general, the I don't have good impressions about this networks. The interface of this sites it's too complicated, there are too many options. I prefer the minimalist of delicious, maybe when I have more contacts, it could be useful, but nowadays the best network is my delicious network.
