Seems to be a new social networking website with limited reliable sources detailing it. The tone of the article is obviously promotional but that can be fixed through the course of normal editing. What cannot be fixed is the lack of sourcing. Protonk (talk) 21:58, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - unless solid sources are suddenly found. What we've got is a single-screen review on the HuffPost, some press releases and self-praise, a review on a glorified blog calling itself a magazine, and another review on a tech blog. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  23:18, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - per nominator and OrangeMike. Article was obviously created by a single purpose account  to stimulate traffic, and although the tone could be fixed, the site is too new to have accumulated any in-depth reliable sources and fails criteria for websites and organisations.
