Is there room for yet another social networking site?

It could probably fly, but it's a difficult market to break into I think that if a social networking site had the right features and was pitched to the right market, it could probably succeed. I was surprised that Facebook took off like it did when Myspace had already been around. However, I think a lot of people are trying to cash in on that phenomenon and I don't know how much more the "market" can take.

I think one of the biggest obstacles in setting up any sort of social networking site is somehow convincing people that their friends are already on there and they're missing out. For example, I wouldn't go sign up for another networking site unless I found out that I was missing out on things, or that people were signed up there who I didn't already have as friends on Myspace. And, heck, I resisted Myspace for a long time too, because I already had Friendster.It's hard to figure out what exactly starts a trend, but if you can do it, go for it!

I've been using the Internet for a long long time, since before the blink tag was deprecated, and I've seen social networking sites come and go with hardly a whimper. SixDegrees was one I remember. Perhaps it was just a few years too early.

Now it's all MySpace this and MySpace that -- even LiveJournal could be considered a prototypical social networking site, left behind in the dust of ubiquitous blogging and the "rich" content of MySpace pages. It's ironic, because MySpace actually looks like the Internet of 1995, before the blink tag was deprecated. The rush to personalize MySpace pages has led to a stylistic nightmare.

Blue text on blue backgrounds, animated GIFs from here to eternity, screechy emo music that gets played for 2.5 seconds before being turned off (reminds me of lame MIDI background music on Ye Olde Webe that prompted browsers to power down the speakers). Add to this the fact that MySpace is a technical turd of a network -- it seems to be broken more often than not, is a cantina-scene-level den of scum and villianny, and the messaging interface is just pitiful -- and I'm frankly amazed it's achieved any kind of success at all.So yes, I think today's social networking sites, using MySpace as a representative sample, leave large, gaping lacunae of usability and reliability such that there is plenty of room for something new, fresh, and well-designed to dethrone the current social networking champ.

Social networking I'm sure it would do okay, but it's hard for the new start ups to compete with the "big" ones already established like My Space and Facebook.

Well if you really think about it yes. I mean this is basically a social networking site. You find other people and learn from other people, and people gather here so yeah this is a new social networking site..

":I'm so glad someone else feels the same way about MySpace that I do. With the poor functionality and absolutely awful design, I'm often amazed that it's as popular as it is.

How many people have to die because they come to a social networking site to ask medical questions rather than seeking.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
