"Pocodot." A scam or the next Facebook?

SAfter browsing Youtube one evening, as I usually do... I started to notice that, all the top comments (the ones with the most 'likes/thumbs up') were comments like this one:

Regardless of what they say this video made me cringe a bit but it’s worth my time to watch. Just like when "I tried and used p◎c◎d◎t for the first time. Man, I know I’m risking a lot here but nevertheless I was so surprised with this thing right here. Cool features, no viruses, great performance of the site in my computer and nothing matters after that! I don’t know about you guys but I’m sticking with p◎c◎d◎t for life!"

Notice the huge circles? Well Youtube have actually banned the work "Pocodot" for obvious reasons, to stop this somewhat poor advertising by the site.
As for the site itself, I made a profile (fake of course) just to see what this rambling was about, being cautious of malware and virus's. And to my amassment. The site is very well designed and user-friendly. But it seems to stick to a very spesific age group. Teenagers. As it states very clearly at the top of the web page. "Welcome to Pocodot, a blog for teens"
Yes, finally to the conclusion. Well, from what I have stated above, it's obvious to me, and hopefully to you; that "Pocodot"is really just another "bebo" or "friendster." But as for a Facebook killer. Very far off.

But if you would like a radical change from the confines of Facebook, please click ME.
Or if you like to be active, click on that URL bar at the top, and type: www.pocodot.com
