Holizz versus the Web

XuQa.com is an academic social networking Web application. (NB: UB is listed as The University of Bradford).

It’s pronounced Zoo Ka, apparently. I should really learn PÄ«nyÄ«n and its pronunciation one day. Chinese is quite a popular language and I’d like to be able to at least pronounce people’s names.

I quite like it. Not least because the developers seem to get it when it comes to the forms. Under Sex there’s an option for Complicated and under Ethnicity there’s an option for Mixed. They also seem to get Web application design better than some bigger social networking sites; it’s just easier than some other sites. The fact that they beat Facebook to Bradfordthe UK endears me a little too.

Here’s my profile.
