Has anyone seen this site yet?

BURBANK, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Youbet.com (UBET) announced today the launch of the Beta version of
www.whodoyoulike.com - a new social networking website for horse racing fans.
The site aggregates and organizes by topic thousands of horse racing
conversations from the site and Twitter each day into a single easy-to-navigate
location where horse racing fans can interact and follow the real-time
conversation by track, horse, trainer or jockey.

As racing fans follow races around the country online, they can now interact
with others both online and offline, including horse players, track handicappers
and other fans directly at the track. This real-time and user-friendly
experience is designed to attract new and younger fans to horse racing, while
keeping fans of all ages and experience levels worldwide connected to racing
around the clock, seven days a week. The customized experience also allows fans
to follow their favorite track even when they cannot be physically there.

Been there, looked around a bit....Seems to be a bit of a "mess" the way the Beta is setup, as of now....found nothing of value to me, as of yet....We'll see....

Hey, it was just a first glance....and I don't twitter....

I agree LottaKash, the site is difficult to navigate. Can only get better I suppose.

I'll take a stab at the free contest though.
