Kind of, yes. Although, we're focusing less on being yet another social 
network and more on being a place where you can find your VoIP friends. 
By this, I mean, we're not going to necessarily (at least, it's not in 
our plans) have an area where you can put in your favourite movies, or 
where you went to school, or whom you're stalking at the moment.  
However, there ARE plans for a possible API to mesh with contact 
programs.  But that sort of thing is putting the cart WELL before the 
horse. ;)
