Socializr Isolatr Snubster Networkr Backlashr

Isolatr, Snubster, Socializr – which is the odd one out?

TechCrunch has a humorous post about Isolatr and Snubster (hey, what’s with the “e”?).  
I’ve previously written about Socializr – Friendster 2.0? when all it had was a suspicious job post, a funny caricature on flickr, and the rumor that it’s started by Friendster founder Jonathan Abrams.  I emailed my post to Jonathan, hoping to get clarification.  After a few weeks of silence I leaned towards considering it a prank.

Well, it may just be real.  Nothing confirmed, just a few signs of life:

“Socializr’s Raising About Half a Million Funding: A new stealth social network, Socializr, founded by Friendster founder Jonathan Abrams, is raising about $0.5 million seed funding, and has raise about $0.35 million out of that, a birdie told me at the conf. “

“Toni’s Companies: Socializr, Inc, San Francisco, CA US, Executive Assistant, Office Manager”  Wow, the job post was not a fake!  Way to go, Jonathan, she is hot and sings in a band!

“Examples include eVite’s latest attempts to include pictures and matching, Zvents, Socializr (the next great thing from Friendster founder, Jonathan Abrams.  The funny graphic at this URL I think is Jonathan’s stealth-mode dose of healthy cynicism at what’s going on in this space.) Jonathan is not showing Socializr publicly yet, but it’s very cool”

So now I am starting to believe Socializr is real.  And we know they will be big, they have the secret formula that Friendster probably missed, the hot blonde who sings!   I’m proud that it was first announced here!
