A while back I heard about a site that looked and functioned exactly like Facebook but targetted at European users which came online and sold one year later for $100million ... how crazy is that, nothing really new, just specialised in a different market!

Didn't know about 2channel. Thanks for pointing it out. I don't profess to know it all. :) Alan,
