Buzznet is fairly big in Monterrey, Mexico, where I’m from. So is Fotolog.com (8 million members) and Hi5. MySpace started out slower but picked up. Facebook is everywhere since three weeks ago and Flickr still doesn’t register.

I’m curious how this differences happen.

By the way, here are some recent figures on Internet services usage in Mexico (but I think they’re way off).

Buzznet has some excellent content for the 18-24 crowd. I think it has languished in the background and obviously Repoint feels it merits funding given its current stats. Congrats Buzznet. Take comfort in the number of haters because they just wish they had a viable business plan to warrant such success.

I’m glad buzznet continues to do well. We recently added buzznet support to FrameChannel using their image RSS feeds (I actually wish they would upgrade to Media RSS) but still they have great content on their site and their open feeds enable our users to incorporate buzznet feeds into their image streams for use with wireless picture frames and desktop widgets. Go Buzznet!

buy a million uniques per month for $129 with popunder exchanges etc…
similar to the tagged case: there are genuine social networks with real social action going on and those with 5% action and 95% search engine / bought / partnership traffic. Amazing that investors fall for all this haha

According to
http://www.buzz...mmunity/online/
there are only 450 people “online”.

Their forums are fairly unimpressive (in terms of number of posts) as well.

For a myspace-like site that boasts top-1000 traffic(?) and 6 million members it doesnt add up.

Kinda like second life.

@ bdb, networks are starting to specialize successfully. The big general networks might all be built, but smaller, focused ones will keep popping up for years.

More and more startups are getting big funds, while more are joining the TechCrunch DeadPool ! Amazing, the growth of web 2.0 enterprises, isn't it? Won't they ever care about the risks involved? I mean, only 1 in 20 or something are even getting low losses. Now, every Tom, Dick and Harry seems to have blogs!

Onkel
the Hitwise reference was mentioned in some of the briefing stuff I received, I Googled it and came to the March piece, wasn’t aware there was later data…it’s difficult to keep up at the best of times but for others reading this, the May 21 link on Onkel’s comment does show Buzznet at 16 moving ahead of Windows Live Spaces.

Duncan,

I realize you posted the link to LeeAnn Prescott’s blog post @ Hitwise as a reference for the “fastest growing social networking site” claim, but wouldn’t it also make (more) sense to link to this blog entry from May 21 (compared to March 14 of the other post):
http://weblogs....06_since_o.html

I know it doesn’t specifically talk about Buzznet, but it does show updated rankings, even listing Buzznet on rank 16 (compared to #17 in march) with a 0.19% market share (compared to 0.18%).

While the SN market isn’t saturated, the days of massive growth are over. The strength of a SN is in its user numbers, “they” don’t care about features or anything else. This is a footnote in the story of the social network fad, but mid-market players always are…

If not an avid Iam a regular internet user and at least try to keep track of whats new on the tech front but somehow I come to know of the big bangs of new social networking sites when either they have million subscribers or got million in venture funding… always curious to know how the word of mouth spreads
