Maypole::Manual::Flox - Flox: A Free Social Networking Site

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Friendster, Tribe, and now Google's Orkut - it seems like in early 2004,
everyone wanted to be a social networking site. At the time, I was too
busy to be a social networking site, as I was working on my own project
at the time - Maypole. However, I realised that if I could implement a
social networking system using Maypole, then Maypole could probably do
anything.

I'd already decided there was room for a free, open-source networking
site, and then Peter Sergeant came up with the hook - localizing it to
universities and societies, and tying in meet-ups with restaurant
bookings. I called it Flox, partially because it flocks people together
and partially because it's localised for my home town of Oxford and its
university student population.
