XuQa (zoo-KA) is a neat new social platform that incorporates blogging and Flickr-esque picture functionality into a facebook-style college scene. Amazingly, though, it includes an 'Import my Friends From FaceBook' step in the registration process.
UPenn's own TheInterestList (formerly WhateverICanGet) got in trouble for pulling FaceBook data just last week. Don't know whether this one comes to us by some special agreement, but I would be surprised. FaceBook is smart to protect its profile data, which as we've discussed numerous times, is its primary asset. No telling how user 'stickiness' will be affected if those data become portable. I'll be interested to see how long this feature sticks around on XuQa.
