Zaadz, the social network for spiritualists, announced today funding from John Mackey, CEO of Whole Foods. If you're some combination of Whole Foods junky, Buddhist, and reader of WIE magazine like me, this funding makes sense: Whole Foods is popular with the spiritual crowd, magazines like WIE and Yoga Journal are mainstays at WF checkout racks, and John Mackey is a proponent of social issues like "conscious capitalism."

Wallace is an old name popping up in a new context. Notorious for choking email boxes with his spam, Wallace is now being sued by MySpace in the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles for creating 11,000 fake profiles in violation of the 2003 Can-Spam act. We've complained frequently here about how fake profiles and the spam they generate are destroying genuine communication on MySpace. Technical efforts by MySpace only the likes of Sanford Wallace or ProfileWatcher before they figure out new ways to choke our inboxes again. Singling out the most egregious spammers for legal punishment is a high profile move akin to the slap at Tila Tequila for hosting Hoooka.

MySpace Germany is set to launch after gestating in beta since August. Thanks for the heads up, Tom! MySpace Germany reports 3.1 million members in February. To celebrate, MySpace announced the first Secret Show Germany: The Beatsteaks are playing Lido, Berlin. Wunderbar! MySpace Germany is one of a family of a dozen international MySpace sites. We'll spare you the list.

Vostu launched at the end of February and joins Hispanito, Elhood and Lazona in targeting the Spanish speaking and Latin American audience with MySpace-like social networking. Harvard, where Facebook was founded, is also the incubator for Vostu. The founding team includes Harvard students Daniel Kafie, Joshua Kushner, and Mario Schlosser. Currently, membership is invite only and comprises 800 members, 600 equally distributed between Peru, Mexico and Argentina and the remainder between the United States and other countries. I refer you to the Boston Globe article which has detail on their strategy and features.
