50 most bizarre social networks

Geek get-togethers

26. Ning
Roll your own
Ning is a social network that allows you to create your own social network. Predictably this has led to a rash of user-created social networks so niche they're practically invisible to the naked eye. Our favourite so far is...

27. Save Justice League from Bad Casting
Created from the cosmic legends of the universe
Save Justice League from Bad Casting, a network devoted to debating who should play the Super-Friends in George Miller's forthcoming Justice League movie -- as if anything can stop that film from being a complete train wreck.

28. CCTVblog
Surveillance society
One more from Ning: CCTVblog, a network for people in the CCTV industry, and not for perverts. We hope.

29. Rivals4Ever
Come and have a go...
Get a profile on Rivals4Ever, pictured, and pitch two things against other, then debate the outcome, like who would win in a deathmatch between Steve Jobs and the Incredible Hulk. Although it's mostly Bollywood stars as far as we can see. And our money's on the everlovin' Jobs. You wouldn't like him when he's angry...

30. ZiiTrend
Insert crystal balls gag here
Our predictions for ZiiTrend, a network for predicting the future: the iPhone to achieve sentience by 2010, turn evil shortly after.
