Lego creates it’s own Social Network
I am not sure this is the best idea, there are so many social networks out there that start and then disappear because of the big bad wolf – Facebook.
The idea of gathering like minded people to talk lego nerdary is a great idea thou, just looking at some of the content already it shows that there are some die hard fans out there. visit ReBrick
quote from PSFK
Lego has launched a social media platform where fans aged 13 and above can upload their own creations and projects, share them, and comment on others they discover. ReBrick is designed to be a hub for all Lego-based works made by the Lego fan community.

Nice Social Experiment
Based on the popular custom here in north America of take a penny give a penny a guy called Jonathan Stark got a starbucks card and gave it to the social world, with the premise that people would spend his card and also add to it.
looking at the API which lets you know the balance it seemed to start off well but is sitting pretty at 0 balance at the moment, I hope it goes back up without Jonathan having to delve into his pocket again.
Check it out here.

Storenvy
Storenvy has been described as the Tumblr of e-commerce. The site allows anyone to set up an online presence that can sell almost anything to anyone – and for the moment it’s totally free. By giving away the tools to create an online marketplace, small independent stores can sell online as well as use the usual social outlets to promote their wares – think Twitter and Facebook.

Meet up with friends spontaneously
Users of San Francisco-based Poig begin by signing up with the free service through Facebook Connect. From there, they can create and view “pings” with suggestions for something to do — grab a beer, for instance, or see a movie. Pings can be restricted to friends or shared with everyone on the site; they can also be broadcast via Facebook and Twitter. Pings are viewable by location as well, enabling users to look for ideas for something fun to do in their area. When a Poig user sees an idea they like, they can comment and indicate that they’ll join the activity.
Poig is currently working on SMS integration and a mobile app

Plancast – Social location planning.
Plancast — a service that lets you share future plans with friends, and view those from others — just got a whole lot more useful today. The company announced its API (application programming interface), which gives developers the ability to use Plancast’s data in their apps, reports the technology blog TechCrunch.
The service is best described as “Foursquare for the future.” Instead of telling people where you are, you can broadcast what you’re going to be doing at any given point in the future. It’s similar to a shared calendar, except it offers up a social graph like Twitter or Foursquare. You have the ability to follow people you’re interested in, and you can also lock down your profile to select readers. Not surprisingly, Plancast is looking to integrate with calendar services like Google Calendar. It also recently added the option to import events from Facebook.

e-commerce and social media promotion
Disney’s new Facebook application, Tickets Together, represents the company’s latest attempt to bridge e-commerce and social media promotion. The first test of the ticketing app is for the much hyped Toy Story 3. Although the animated film doesn’t open for another two-and-a-half weeks, Facebook members who download the app to buy tickets will also be encouraged to invite friends to make a purchase as well, says the NYT, which noticed that the app first appeared on the social net site on May 26.

GoTryitOn
An interesting insight into social opinions.
This site acts as a hub for people wanting opinions of clothing, for example asking for a vote on a dress to wear to a wedding. The main contributors seem to be women, but I did notice men commenting on one ladies dress.
Make your own assumptions, but the social behavior around wanting complete strangers opinions is very interesting.
