From the initial looks I think Sodahead can turn be pretty addictive site. Idea is not new but comes with a twist as compared to what we already have in market. Vizu does distributed polling and surveys, while Grouptivity and CircleUp enable group collaboration and questionnaires in private groups. But none of these work out in the open where users in a social network can put up polls and get responses and comments from everyone on the community. Identifying this sweet spot can only come from experienced social networking guys. As it turns out Sodahead was founded last year by former MySpace execs Jason Feffer and Michael ?. To start with Sodahead had received $4.25 million in funding from Mohr Davidow Ventures, a big enough round to keep their small but smart group up and running for a while. [...] […] Sodahead went ahead with the public launch of its social polling platform last week. From the initial looks I think Sodahead can turn be pretty addictive site.

Jyngle is also a group collaboration service, but voice-based that has its own niche use that can be much more effective if combined with reQall.

Seems to be using Wordpress to drive its backend. Offers ability to choose from alternative themes, adding people to your network,  creating photo albums, and more of the expected  features from a socialnet. Though road for the startup since number of players have already entered this space last year including MomJunction, CafeMom, Maya’s Mom, Famster, MothersClick.  [...] […] Mumspace: Another mommy oriented social network that launched last week.
