good sports

Facebook is fine if you want to see photos of how friends in New York spent their weekend, but if you want to find a gym partner or new squash opponent you'd best wander over to www.doubledrummer.com.au, a social networking site devoted entirely to people whose lifestyles tend toward the more active end of the spectrum. The site can also put you in touch with coaches, sports clubs and even physios. Every sport imaginable is covered, from abseiling and boxing to Zorbing (rolling downhill in a giant inflatable ball), and you can find people in your area who are up for a bit of competition or just looking to increase their social circle. The best part? This site doesn't consider poking a sport.
