My6thDegree.com - Next-Gen Social Networking

My6thDegree claims to be a next generation social network. The difference lies in their super simple, easy to use and easy to understand features. You'll notice on first look, the streamlined, fresh interface, which importantly, doesn't have photos or insufferable ads crammed all over. This site is the paragon of elegance. The name of course, stems from the Small World concept which implies we all know each other by 6 degree relationships. As with other networks 6th has friends, messaging, mobile integration, photo galleries, and search. All of this is done up in the most plain, and minimalistic, unfussy manner. It really is very simple and attractively so. You've got to be at least 18 to join. As the site is still very new, suggestions are more than welcome, and changes—additional features, more content, etc.—are coming soon.

"Welcome to my6thdegree.com! My6thdegree.com makes it easy to interact with friends and share photos without worrying about being inundated with spammers, poorly designed layouts and flashing ads. 6th Degree is a true Web 2.0 application built on a flexible platform resulting in shorter load times and fewer errors."

My6th will dazzle you with their squeaky clean and neat UI. It's incredibly minimalistic, but in a good way. Less cluttered than MySpace, sleeker design than Facebook. It just looks good.

People are already used to the main social networks, so the ease of use associated with 6th may not be so enticing. Social networkers tend to be younger and more adaptable to technologies even if they're not so simple. Will 6th be able to make a dent in the market?
