What are the reasons people would want to use one over the other, or both? Are the functions different? Are the demographics different?<BR/><BR/>Network effect is a key vocab on this project in particular. The more people using a network the more will join.Leo Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15485128514926714027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191266026658256332.post-9178350704451852462007-10-06T22:24:00.000-07:002007-10-06T22:24:00.000-07:00huge paragraphs makes it a bit difficult to read, ...huge paragraphs makes it a bit difficult to read, put a simpler prospectus and the schedule up.Leo Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15485128514926714027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191266026658256332.post-73051718331545896842007-10-06T22:18:00.000-07:002007-10-06T22:18:00.000-07:00one of the things that facebook's team have said i...one of the things that facebook's team have said is that there focus isn't to build virtual communities like friendster etc tried before. As in, it's not focused on making new friends, it's about managing your existing social connections as a social networking tool.
