Haha, awesome. What a great treat to operate such a site is that you can monitor what people do and have an all-access view of everyone's stuff. This stuff makes me so jealous. “March 27th 3:09am - someone uploads 10K porn images…”

The pointer here is to the blog, not the service. I don't know exactly what Munjal will be blogging here, but as a Board Member, I can tell you that the experience IS a microcosm of every consumer internet service, technology-based or not. The challenge is to (1) develop a theory of consumer behavior (2) build in support of that theory (3) test test test (4) iterate iterate iterate (5) and zig or zag as appropriate, discovering the real business along the way. My guess is that Munjal's posts will be an account of how this adaptive process of launch-and-learn has been playing out at Riya. No hidden motives, just providing some transparency and giveback for the entrepreneur community. The editorial independence issue is a red herring here.

Riya had real technology, loads of "coolness", and a well developed product. That is probably the main reason that so many influential people blogged it and why they had "10s of thousands" of people waiting in line to use the service. This is not true for the majority of web 2.o sites that launch daily. A good read but a lot of this probably won’t apply to many of the sites that get reviewed on techcrunch.

The technology seems cool, but the privacy implications of the whole thing, especially once use of the product becomes ubiquitous, is kind of scary. Combine Riya, Google searches, Myspace and other social network profiles and Google Earth and you have a bunch of hi-tech tools for total privacy invasion, or worse, stalking.
