<a href="http://www.peuplade.fr>; Peuplade</a> is a site in France for organizing social activities around your geographical location. It's great to meet people in your neighborhood! I found it an excellent opposite to Facebook, which keeps you in touch with people far away (that was my original perception, at least).

I find the "neighborhood" approach much more interesting for a social site than "real-life friends". Another interesting use of social networks is <a href="http://www.couchsurfing.com>CouchSurfing</a>;
