Just got an email from a friend about AnalyticsLife.com - which looks like a new social network for [Web]Analysts. I really like the logo and the idea, but I am afraid it will clash with some of the WebanalyticsAssociation efforts.
The site is currently in beta, but I found some info on the Mashable social network and here some cached pages of the first version.

analyticsLife is not intended to compete with the WAA, rather it is a social networking community for web analytics professionals that also includes a job board. The added benefits of the site are the ability to collaborate with peers in chat rooms, discuss issues, network, blogs and gain additional expert resources.
