It seems every day, another FB clone is released into the wild with little more than changes in colours and icons as a USP? And some are raising lots of VC to boot. I understand that within the long tail there's room for niche networks (eg Last FM) but even so, further down the tail there appears to be clone after clone in every sector and across every platform, ie mobile? What's your crystal ball say looking forward into the next 12 months? How much longer do you think the land grab will continue? Duncan or Michael
