The British are coming, the British are coming!.

Ecademy - USA has launched.

It's a mature, full featured networking environment originally based in the U.K.  I've often referred to these 'blokes' as British Intellectuals - but they're really more or less just business folks - out hussling, using technology - to make money and network.

The best part of Ecademy is the suite of technology that Julian Bond has built up in there - including RSS feeds of almost everything (listings, message boards, blog posts, etc.) - and they're the FIRST major system to support FOAF!

Lee Wilkins and Thomas Power have really built-up Ecademy into a promising environment - much more than LinkedIn - and I'm excited as hell that they're landed on this side of the pond. I just hope they don't burn down the White House while they're at it (well actually, maybe that's a great idea!)
