Most people have heard of the social network site FaceBook.com, MySpace.com and many others out there…but FaceClubs.com? At first it sounds like a knock-off FaceBook website, since it is technically a ’social’ website, but in fact it is geared towards those who in the Night Club scene. Their most recent announcement is regarding an alliance with some of the clubs in Toronto, Canada for special events to be available to the 100,000+ people who are engaged in the weekend night life in that area.

What I find funny is the press release claim that there many other ‘glossy’ websites competing for the patrons attention, and that FaceClubs.com is supposted to be a better alternative, boasting a "clean, easy to navigate appearance". Um…have you seen their website? Clean and easy to navigate are not the first words that come to mind…perhaps overly ad-driven and web 1.0 design would be more accurate descriptors. Just my opinion! =)

Check out their site, and you tell me…

So, you think our data and voice plans are expensive here in the US? Try Canada: to get a mear 2GB of data, 300 text messages and 800 minutes (with Rogers , a Canadian wireless provider) will set you back $115 per month. To compare, for roughly the same price in the US, you can get unlimited data + unlimited text messaging with 900~1000 minutes of talk time.
