But it?s home to tends of millions of social networkers and for some reason or another, they?re okay with how things are. I can?t quite grasp the indifference among the loyalists about the site?s theme, but perhaps some things simply aren?t meant to be understood. They just are the way they are.

Users can create a contest from anything they are either involved or interested in and there are some pricey prizes to win too.
I tagged the site as a simple diversion, which it is, but the partners of the site are quite impressive and include: Prom [...]
