Twitter?	sort of	No	Yes	Yes
Facebook or MySpace?	Facebook Well-designed but has trouble attracting members without a strong interest.		MySpace Horrible designs, auto-playing music and video, difficult to navigate, but seems to attract many people with a wide variety of interests.
Potentially alienating aspects	Seems to be geared towards U.S. political policy	No room for atheists. (Who cares about them anyway?)	Administrator has a weird survey on signup. For example, you're asked whether "our shrinking freedoms" pose a threat to peace, or whether "religion" is the biggest threat.	Difficult to find content

Other networks I found: GandhiTopia, mepeace.org
