21 Places to Go When You're Sick of Facebook
Horseland
Who it's for: Equine and canine enthusiasts of all ages.
What we like: Horseland is a combination of a game and a social universe where you breed, train, and show virtual horses and dogs in competitions. You start by creating an avatar and training your animal and then you can participate in Flash-driven games against other users. In your downtime, you can meet people and join clubs to host the contests, though you'll have to look a little harder for mature friends -- most of the players are under 22. It might seem a bit odd at first, but think of it as Second Life only with more ponies and puppies. That doesn't sound so bad, right?
