Virtual 'hood

So I just learned about CPixel, which is sort of Friendster for folks concerned with Ke3p1n' It ReA1, HoMe8oY, with a little Hot or Not mixed in.

From a design perspective, I cannot help noticing that the site design is not as bad as you would ph33r, and there are a couple of cool innovations that serve the target audience. Most notably, you can not only link to friends ("homies"), you can also link to anti-friends ("shit list"). Plus -- and this is a little innovation that other sites could borrow -- there's a function for flagging fake profiles, and has a top-level link to a list of 'certified fakes'.
