Faces.com: Where multimedia meets social networking

Back in 2005, Australian social networking site Faces.com distinguished itself by offering unlimited photo printing for $7.99 per month. But with the launch of their new redesign, Faces.com is tackling more than just photo sharing. The site is positioning itself as completely multimedia-focused, with the result being an interesting amalgamation of other, more narrowly focused sites. Or, as the Faces.com home page proclaims: "Faces.com offers more than just photo sharing; we offer community."

Newly added features include the ability to upload and share music (a la MySpace); a browser toolbar for adding pages to your favorites list (a la del.icio.us); and desktop apps for drag-and-drop file management (a la Flickr Uploadr). Caveat: currently, the desktop apps are available only for Windows. Coming soon: photo editing services and mobile access.

Faces.com wants you to let loose and upload as many files as you like. There is a 500 MB monthly limit on uploads, and 10 GB monthly limit on bandwidth usage. If that's not enough for you, a pro account can be had for $25 per year.
