[...] But our sources are telling us that TagWorld is quite healthy. They raised $7.5 million from Draper Fisher Jurvetson in March 2006, and much of that money is still in the bank. And the service is still growing, slowly, in new user registrations. It doubled from 1 million in early 2006 to just over 2 million today. [...]

Although I do love certain features on TagWorld there are a lot of problems with the site. Like right now. I have not been able to get to TagWorld for over an hour. I had been working on a page and it would not upload and so I went out and tried to come back in and have not been able to do so. Also, why are there not dates and times of the comments that are posted to our page, why when you add a friend do they not appear on your Friends page. I was in TagWorld once before and left because there were always problems. Decided to give it another try and it is still the same old nonsense. In MySpace people love to post graphics in the comments. TagWolrd is boring in the fact that people do not do that. They just write a few words and that is it. Makes for a very boring comments page. Well I am done venting for the moment.

Peace and Harmony…..

Newcomer Tagworld raised a healthy $7.5 million from DFJ. And tagged, focused on much younger audiences, raised $7m from Mayfield. [...]

Myspace is worthless. The TagWorld multiple page thing is good, but a single point is never going to cover a fraction of what’s out there. So what’s the point? Can’t we be happy with many smaller companies? The universal idea might help connect more where it’s an issue.

Also, TagWorld is running billboards in (at least) Los Angeles which promise to put you or your band on the billboard. How many people sign up just for that chance, then never use the site again?

Since you are so impressed with their 1 million registrations why don’t you give me a million dollars and I’ll send you names at a $1 CPA all day long. This number means nothing. Why do you think their 1 million members have only listed 850 items in their classifieds? That’s a whopping 1 in 1000 participation rate. Pathetic. If DFJ is funding this I have some fantastic snake skin oil that cures colds that I am willing to sell them at a discount.

It seems to me that with so many social networking services out there form irc, IM’s, *.blog, myspace and tagworld… it’d be great if people didn’t have to maintain a profile every single one, as new sites are continously being evolved from the ashes of those worn out.
How about someone out there starts a “Universal Internet Profile” (UIP), that is dynamic in field, is tagged, and can be used by all sites that wish to have access, and just need to spider the data base for updates. We’d actually have a coherent database (maybe even a dancing tree) of a lot of people of the web. Very useful and powerful me thinks

All Tagworld’s traffic comes from advertising on MySpace editor sites with “Tired of Myspace? Check Tagworld.” It inflates their Alexa numbers, but no one is using the site. Nice job on fooling the investors into forking over the cash, but this site is not as popular as they make it out to be. They’re also spamming users directly on MySpace and paying the spammers for the signups.

1mm registrations since their launch in August is impressive, but I hope everyone knows that traffic/advertising can easily be purchased on the cpa level, so if you have enough money, you can get enough acquisitions.

Actual usage is another, totally different issue. Tagworld had a feature, several months back, where you could sort users based on activity (which was the sum of posts, pictures, etc.) a realy useful tool to see who was actually using it. They no longer have that, not sure why.

Another activity proxy is the postings on their classifieds section. Classifieds launched about 3 weeks back. When I looked at it a week and a half back, there were 300 items, today there are 800 items . . . from 1 million users?
