The Socializr: A night out with Jonathan Abrams
The article is mostly about Jonathan Abrams, the serial entrepreneur  
who founded Friendster in 2002, and Socializr, a site devoted to  
optimizing users’ social calendars.  I mostly found it interesting  
because it mentioned some newish Web enterprises I hadn’t heard of  
yet.  Check them out:

     * Dropbox
     * Disqus
     * Justin.tv (this one i remember from when it was just a kid  
wearing a tv camera on his head and streaming the feed, but its grown  
alot since then)
     * Scribd
     * Snaptalent (relaunching in Feb ‘09, read more about them on  
TechCrunch)
     * Livemeeting
