Handshake is the SNS and is billed as<br /><blockquote style="font-style: italic;">... the place to meet your next friend, programmer, project manager, accountant, interface designer and more. By adding someone as a contact here, you can collaborate online in 8apps. Handshake is social networking with purpose.</blockquote>Radar (aka spider) charts are popular in Japan, and it is interesting to see how they are being used here.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_8EA_nq57bis/RbLkjZ71XrI/AAAAAAAAAJM/Kqs9EZPkyRU/s1600-h/2007-01-21_124639.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_8EA_nq57bis/RbLkjZ71XrI/AAAAAAAAAJM/Kqs9EZPkyRU/s400/2007-01-21_124639.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5022327831379926706" border="0" /></a><br />This could hit a little closer to home than I would wish. If I disappear suddenly from Handshake, you'll know a lightweight SNS does not necessarily need to be anodyne.<div class="blogger-post-footer">[[Sorry: every time I fix a broken link/feed or correct one of my innumerable typos, the entry republishes.]]</div>Ben Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17273255122303654452noreply@blogger.com
