The popularity of social networks continues to rise, but there are more of them than you can shake a stick at. See, for example, our recent coverage of social networks for families, dog lovers, teens, tweens, and even old fogies.
In a fragmented world,…

I really don’t think there is any sort of legal violation, at least with MySpace. I’m pretty familiar with MySpace’s policy; for the most part, they are pretty relaxed when it comes to crawling and aggregating. The problem seems to be embeddable widgets [which is somewhat justified given the current spamfest going on over there].

Bei Techchrunch habe ich diesen interessanten Artikel zum Portal loopster.com gelesen.
Loopster verfolgt das Ziel, Virtuelle Freundschaften aus diversen Online Communities/Social Networks auf einem Portal zu vereinen.
Derzeit angeschlossen findet man …

This is worse than RockYou and stuff like that. Meebo raising millions of dollars? Where is all of this advertising driven revenue going to come from? Don’t people make money by charging users anymore?

What’s next? Procter & Gamble to invest in Web 2.0 startup that gives away virtual shampoo sponsored by advertising?

This is a big shell game. There is not enough advertising in the world to support all of these sites.

Great to know that .

It is only portuguese and the signup will be back in the next two weeks.

TechCrunch helped launch knew social network mashup Loopster, which funnily enough has almost the same logo as ULoop, a company marketing to UW students another student-to-student exchange service. Same logo, same company? Maybe both just decided that …

Maybe it’s just obvious that a double O word can easily be made into a smiley face.

On the facebook note, while I highly doubt it’s Zuckerberg, facebook has become such an institution in college that he can almost say whatever he wants.

Humility goes a long way, and I am certain that the tone of his comments are viewed as insults, by his employees, his family and many others.

It is a sign of immaturity, I hope Mark grows up. He is in a position to be a leader, but he is acting like a spoiled child.

The following is taken from out site, but its applicable to your question: We do not believe our service is in any way diverting traffic from other sites. On the contrary, by making it easier to see when something has changed about a person we believe we are driving traffic to these sites and adding value to our users as well as to the other social networking sites. The average user will not sit down when they have a few minutes to click on every one of their friend/contacts/subscriptions on every site out there to see if something has changed. It is just too much work to go to 20 different sites and check up on everything you would want to. On the other hand, when someone visits Loopster and sees activity on someone else’s account they can go right to the page where the information was posted.

This of course is our belief - we’ve only been online a short time so only time will tell how many referrers we’re sending back to these social networks such as facebook, myspace, etc.

Thanks for all the comments. Trust me, I’m very busy taking all concerns/bug reports/enhancement requests into account for future releases.
