I like a lot of this. The simplicity, multiple profiles etc. I'd switch from Facebook if everyone else I knew would too. I think you need some kind of Facebook

  thanks for the feedback, very useful. Integration with other services is on the todo list but for the time being I want to focus on the core features and user experience. I think it can be useful without a large existing social graph. For example, I went to a local tech meetup last month and met some interesting people. I wouldn't necessarily add them as facebook friends but I am following them on twitter. The downside is I now get updates on anything they post when I only really want updates on the things they're working on. As I said in a previous comment I think social network is the wrong label for this product. It's more of a group communication tool. The broadcast/follow model is a very efficient and useful way for groups to communicate and that's the core of of swytch.net - it's group communication with less noise and more signal. Because it's not trying to be the 'one true network' it doesn't need a huge social graph. Just the people that you want to communicate with in a specific context need to be on it. > Signup was easy, the username admin was available. Sweet. :)

    maybe you can center on temporary social networks, a kind of throw-away account system for social networking when you need it... Like, I meet some people somewhere and we want to engage more, so someone creates an identity just for that and mails friends to do the same and link.
