New Rising Media: "So you've got your Facebook and Twitter; but as we step closer to intelligent robot beings, what about their outcries to be part of the social graph? Well, dear reader, your prayers have been answered with Myrobots.com.
With this amazing tool of social prowess in hand, your collection of beloved cyborgs can maintain their own complete social hub to work alongside yours.
