Social networking is popular by any means and Rincon Social targets a particularly large but perhaps under represented audience. It´s got all the networking must-haves and could very well be a hub for latino teenagers.

The site is all over the place. It´s extremely cluttered. It´s poorly designed. It´s ugly. The target audience is just as likely to use MySpace or Facebook rather than Rincon Social.
