21 Places to Go When You're Sick of Facebook

Going!

Who it's for: Urban youth who like to go out and do stuff

What we like: Like Outdoorzy.com, this network encourages you to get off the computer and get outside, only in urban areas rather than the woods. User friendly and easy to navigate, Going has listings for a slew of U.S. cities, including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Washington, DC, and Philadelphia. The premise is simple: You create a profile involving your basic interests à la Facebook (bday, fave movies, books, whatever) upload photos (or not), and state your intentions (looking for bros, dating, boozing). Then it gets cool. You get to choose your favorite hangouts and access a comprehensive calendar of upcoming social events in your area. You can add events you plan to attend, see who else is going, invite your bffs, and RSVP to select soirees. Once the site gets an idea of your style, it recommends events for you, and you can check on who else is going. It just might help to get some of your friends on it first if you're not that into meeting strangers.
