The New York Times, always striving to do something to impress the geeks, is getting itself into the business of social networking. Their little toy is called TimesPeople (no space!), and it'll let you do things you're already familiar doing, such as saving articles to your TimesFiles, commenting on stories, and emailing their most ridiculous trend pieces to friends (and Jossip editors). But now you'll be able to share your favorite items with your friends. The final product is very Facebook — at least when it comes to the newsfeed you'll begin spitting out as you start recommending stories to your friends — and, thanks to the millions of user accounts it already has, will immediately become one of the Internet's largest social networks. Unlike Facebook, however, you will not be able to throw vampires or sheep at the Thursday Styles section.
