Honestly I am very happy that the big companies can't get it right. That leaves more room for new and creative ideas to take root in small niche sites. Power to the people! By the way, there is a reason that so many people are launching social networks. They are one of the first applications that really takes advantage of the internet for what it is, instead of just recreating some previous broadcast style technology from before. Additionally their viral nature and the abundance of free/cheap technologies for publishing them (ning) will ensure that this is only the beginning. Some people predict, and I would agree, that the future of all websites is social networking. Meaning that all sites will incorporate these social aspects or they will perish. This is most likely true since the defining factor of a successful website is not the technology but the community built around it.

It's kind of a nightmare being in the meetings. None of the senior executive team have any clue as to how to build a video portal, or how to build a cohesive development team. None of them have a clear vision - its ridiculous. They expect to compete with the likes of Youtube and Google, and there is much talk of building the killer experience, yet they can't even put out a 'standard' product that just works.
