Masala is a cute name for a social networking site if you are indian (or like me understand the indian culture) but NO One else is going to understand what Masala means or how it ties to the name.

C- for the name

Judging by the name (Masala) and the partner the name of Amra Tareen, I presume this is a social networking site aimed towards Desis/Indians.
