A key feature of StuffSpace is Stufflists: lists of stuff you want, with comments as to why you're looking to buy the item. The most obvious use is a wishlist: create a list of items you want for your birthday, then point your friends to it. Unfortunately, there's no way to post this list elsewhere: the ability to post a Flash widget to MySpace, Friendster, hi5, Piczo, Blogger and the rest could be a good way to get the word out. They do, however, have profile badges for your blog or webpage, which do a similar thing.
MyPickList, which launched back in April, seemed to have the right idea when it came to portable picklists, but they've temporarily taken down the site for improvements. Personally, I think that's unwise: they'll need to start from scratch again when they relaunch. (They do, however, have a really great product called FavoriteThingz that could be huge if marketed correctly.)
StuffSpace also includes Watchlists: you can use these to track people, products and friends, receiving notifications when stuff is reviewed, added to someone's stuff, blogged about or posted to the forums. Last but not least, they're incentivizing users with a points system called StuffBucks. StuffBucks are earned for performing actions on the site, and they're giving away an iPod Nano to the user with the most points at the end of the month.
StuffSpace is ok: not terrible, not absolutely killer. They face the age-old problem of building another social network, and hooking into existing communities is always a good move. I had a few technical problems too, like a failure to keep me logged in. In short: they'll need to step up the marketing substantially and squash a few bugs if they're going to get anywhere.
