Explode - new open source social network

If you wanted a widget that could connect all of your friends regardless of creed their specific network such as MySpace, Facebook, their own site, etc., there is a new open source social networking site that lets you do that. Explode lets you connect all your friends from disparate social networks together. You do this by using a search term or interest tag to find others who share your interests. Explode will find them across all the platforms and you can add them as your friend to be included on your very own widget.

Explode was created by Curverider, a UK open-source social network provider. Similar in concept to Mybloglog, which was recently acquired by Yahoo, Explode's open source roots may potentially give it a leg up on Mybloglog's recent security glitches. Hmmmmm. Who do you want to be today?
