			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p>Everyone is jumping on the social bandwagon, and the latest and purportedly greatest (with dreams of a million members in six months) is <a title="Utherverse Social Center - social.redlightcenter.com" href="http://www.utherverse.com/">Utherverse</a>.  Of course, it is touted as a place to &#8220;live your fantasy,&#8221; but looks a lot like an amatuer pornography site.  No surprise there, as its mothership is something called the Red Light Center, a virtual playroom where you can change your underwear without anyone bothering you.  Huh.  Additionally, you have to download software to create all this fun - I doubt there is anything spyware laden in it.</p>
<p>In the grand scheme of having no clue, the site is using <a title="MySpace for adults touts 18  credentials | The Register" href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/07/27/adult_myspace/">T&amp;C acceptance and credit card numbers to verify ages</a>.  I wasn&#8217;t kidding when I said <a title="Thought Market: Taming the MySpace monster" href="http://www.michaelgracie.com/2006/07/03/taming-the-myspace-monster/">that wouldn&#8217;t work</a>.  But why would Utherverse care anyway?</p>
<p>***UPDATE***</p>
<p>On a lighter note regarding MySpace, spyware company Zango (whose nasty spyware has been showing up on the site), is <a title="Techdirt: Zango Didn't Actually Stop User From Pushing Spyware Videos On MySpace" href="http://techdirt.com/articles/20060727/0247242.shtml">still doing its song and dance</a>.<br />
***UPDATE 2***</p>
<p>Zango&#8217;s tune?  <a title="Techdirt: Zango Caught Lying About Targeting MySpace?" href="http://techdirt.com/articles/20060728/1340215.shtml">You&#8217;re a liar&#8230;</a> <cite>(compliments of Sunnyboys)</cite>.</p>
