As for the class… let me give you a piece of advice: the week that YouTube sells for $1.6 billion is not the best time to dazzle the youth of America with your plans for non-profit radio.

Hindsight is 20/20 and his hindsight saw Google and eBay holding out and being worth much more than their initial valuations. It's a shame really, that by seeking out the investment he had to give up so much control to an obviously clueless board of directors. I say clueless in that they had no idea what to make of Friendster, even though they were immensely successful with previous projects. I guess it goes to show that you can't rest on your laurels... you have to remain current and innovative. Coming from the perspective of one who is working on his first startup with a budgest equivalent to the money these board members spend on breakfast crumpets, I found this story oddly motivational. It proves that you can have the best minds and all the money in the world at your fingertips but if you lose your true vision and place your customers as an afterthought, it's won't get you anywhere. Sure, I won't have the marketing budget to gain instant global exposure, but that forces me to tax my brain on other options. And other options there are. Great post!

Namely, it seems that most sites derive their etiological origin from (1) "how do we make a lot of money really fast as opposed to (2) "how do we solve a problem that is causing a lot of 'pain' for a number of people." (I once heard it said that if you try to compete with Google on a product that their employees / engineers use everyday themselves, you might as well give up, because they will beat you. However, if you compete with Google on a product that their employees do not use on a routine basis, and you use it frequently to solve a problem that plaques you, your chances of succes are exponentially higher.) Point being ... if a social networking site is being developed to "make money," the "directors / power people" will not be sufficiently cognitive of the environmental dynamics that will drive users to their site - generate "traction." If a social networking site is being developed that addresses a present "pain" that is felt by a number of individuals, it will generate "traction" with little effort - the "viral" effect. In short, I hope all the developers of new social networking sites the best. Unfortunately, it seems that most will fail to get off the ground becuase most are being driven by a desire to make a quick buck as opposed to solve a "pain" - and just to be clear, their is ample "pain" yet to be attenuated that could drive the growth of any number of sites. (I'll bet most "founders" will respond by stating a "pain" that they are trying to address, but deep down, they realize that their "desire for a quick buck" is the true "master.) My 2c.
