We just finished version 1 of a 100% Flash-based social-networking site. The site was built for a brand (dr. pepper), with teenagers in mind, so things like chat have been left out on purpose (legal) for now.
http://www.liquidstate.com I am hoping we will go through another round or two of development, as this version was rushed and we had some great ideas to allow users to customize the content more. I still have lots of refactoring that needs to happen still too. Whether it will be successful is a good question. They are going to seed content soon through a university contest, then they will launch it to the world via ad campaigns and printing on the bottles.

The other day, I was talking about social networking sites with a friend, I defended Flash as the right solution claiming it has far more visual capabilities than a site operating on CSS or HTML, His question in response to my Flash bias left me stumped for an answer. He said, "Most successful sites are done with a mix of Flash and HTML such as YouTube, MySpace, etc. What successful networking sites have been produced all in Flash, if any?" I couldn't answer my friend's question, but from a historical standpoint, this is a valid question and would be interesting to discuss. Any answers out there? Thanks.
