"me.com is a service that lets you essentially build your own MySpace.  They're launching their SNAPP program today, which will power their online communities.\nme.com has been around for a couple of years now, but they've only just launched a free service for the creation of your own networks.  me.com's SNAPP-powered communities are built to be connected in a way that is described as being similar to a shopping center with anchor tenants, specialty retailers, and shared common areas.  This means that there are several levels at which to create an individual presence that differs amongst the many networks that can be built and joined within me.com.  Their connected community model lets networks the access to the larger me.com network for building their own traffic base.  They've also integrated the Google AdSense API, so site admin can earn 50% of revenue displayed on their network.\nThe service is undoubtedly going to be compared to Ning, as this is the major point of comparison we have for describing a custom network service such as this.  me.com appears to be going directly after the MySpace crowd which is evident by the cuztomization freedom the allot to members, and the additional tools that admin can choose to offer their users. These tools include chat, the creation of media albums, forums, groups, polls, ecards, bookmarks and top users.  As far as tools offered by me.com that can be passed along to individual users, they've got more than Ning, but Ning does have better CSS customization, which may be irrelevant considering me.com's target demographic.\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
