“Social networking is the new hot web concept. Mainstream successes like MySpace and Facebook have brought on a deluge of social networking sites based around a simple idea: Get people together, and people with similar interests will find each other and create something cool.
I’ve long thought that poker was ripe for such a site. Poker networking can help you schedule home games, coordinate trips to Vegas, find people to talk about hands with, and more.

Poker and social networking are both hot, so they seem like a good match.”

“Matt Maroon, author of Winning Texas Hold’em: Cash Game Poker Strategies for Players of All Skill Levels and of The Poker Chronicles, has solved this problem with his new site, TwoOuts.com. It’s a social bookmarking site, a la digg, that focuses on poker articles and content. It’s just getting off the ground, but as more and more people begin to use it, I think it may become the single most reliable source on the web for the latest poker news, info, and strategy.
