Shoutcentral: Fresh Social Networking
Based in Fairfax, Virginia and launched in late March this year, Shoutcentral is a social networking site like MySpace but with AJAX messaging and real time chat built into your page and you are provided with a list of your friends so you can instantly chat with whoever is online, simple and easy. You can link to other popular sites, like YouTube videos, directly to your own profile. The interface is very manageable and easy to use, version 2 is coming soon and i’m sure that will be even greater.
I had a chat with 23 yr. old Shoutcentral founder Brian Hoffman earlier today and he says they “currently have over 800 users and plan to launch version 2 of the site around mid-July this year.” I am looking forward to version 2 and I believe Shoutcentral, out of all the other “new social networking”, will do very well considering thaht it is full of innovation. In comparing Shoutcentral to MySpace, I say that Shoutcentral is much more user friendly and interactive, and it’s not cluttered, it’s fresh.

With this feature, users of Last.fm are able to display their top songs and most recently played within their Shout Central profile for all to see. Next, they have integration with YouTube, this feature was in the previous version of Shout Central as well. The Shout site is composed of mainly ajax and well up to date or beyond todays standards. I really recommend this site because of the integration with other big social networking sites and because of the innovation the guys at Shout Central continue to churn out. […]

I called“fresh.” And since version 2 launched in July, I still think it’s a break from the cluttered MySpace and feature-lacking Facebook. Pete Cashmore of Mashable calls ShoutCentral.comLite.” Now it seems that founder Brian Hoffman has decided to sell the site on eBay. Why is he selling it? Hoffman says it’s due to his “lack of time to update and improve theAlthough the site is quite nice, it could use some improvements to bring it up to par with some of the larger social networks. The site was designed and built using PHP, AJAX, and MySQL. The sitehas over 1000 users and would be a great start for anyone looking to really make something out of it.
