I’ll be the first to admit that I am completely addicted to social networking sites. Luckily, I’ve chosen a profession that requires me to network constantly so one of favorite parts of the job is researching new networking sites and associations. In the midst of my research, I stumbled across Ashley Madison, a dating and networking site geared toward – well, umh, gulp – married men and women “looking for something more.” In a nutshell, it’s a networking site for cheaters!!!
I don’t want to sound totally naïve, but I’m just completely shocked that a site like this exists – and it’s actually popular! Maybe the concept behind Ashley Madison isn’t completely terrible since at least the cheaters are targeting other cheaters. Hopefully, those singles that are actually looking for real relationships will be spared from accidentally dating the married man who swears he’s going to leave his wife, but never does (and was never planning on it) OR the married woman who lies and says she’s single, but she keeps getting calls from her kids. Maybe these people will be safely confined to their own community over in Cheaterville which could make dating much more pleasant for singles that are looking to date other real singles.
Geez, what will they think of next - a networking site geared toward serial killers looking to exchange mutilation tips? I don’t want to get too Twin Peaks, but the realm of possibilities are pretty crazy!

pretty much anyone can create there own network, nowadays. you just need to know what you’re doing. I guess I’m glad that these people have their own site so they don’t hit up legit singles…. I’m thinking about creating something for writers, but have no comp skills, so i’m gonna get certified with Cisco.
