I agree with the above comment. There will always be fresh members joining. There will always be kids which means this site will always have a market. You also have to remember that a lot of social networking sites have deceptive membership numbers to begin with. For example, look at myspace and facebook… they have thousands of accounts that have not been used for several years now.

@ KillerLocator.com

I agree with you that a transition from high school to University will happen and users will move, but i disagree on the point of acquiring new users, as there will always be new kids getting into schools and thus will always have new members.

college students are gonna grow up from facebook and look for a more mature social location, and never look back. anyways no one goes to a social site such as facebook or myspace to buy stuff. page views may be high but conversions are virtually zilch. myyearbook is a niche site and there is enough room for them to fit in, its just no where near the top of the monetization food chain. myyearbook should invest in a multichannel strategic social portfolio. build a network of niche social sites.

Maybe the founders forgot that it is 2008 instead of 2007.

That sounds like a good idea. I’m sure they could offer some sort of hosted option as well if need be. Something to differentiate themselves and hedge their bets is good business.

I agree, not even Facebook and MySpace – which are targeting a higher spending market – can make money, and this guys will? c’mon no one knows how to make money from social networks.

I’m also worried about a more children-inclined website, which obviously attracts more pedophiles and child molesters.

The website in itself is not impressive. Plus the concept is so saturated. They better have an exit strategy any time soon.

Please, please, stop using online stats services (alexa, compete, etc) as a point of reference. We all know these services can be gamed. I looked at their source code and it appears that they are sending stat data to quantcast. These number might be more accurate.

thats true but this site is targeted at children and its overflowing with pedophiles and solicitations for child pornography.

I think the founders must have been hitting the bong pretty hard when they came up with that logo.

LMAO

It’s like the tag-line is targeted at the loner kids in school that need a self-esteem boost – oh by the way” you’ve got friends!!”

Many colleges/universities are discontinuing actual yearbooks (and blaming MySpace and Facebook for low sales).

If the MyYearbook people are smart, they will iron out the kinks and sell licenses to the educational market.

Theoretically, a jr. high/high school page could migrate from high school to college to alumni association, with controls in place to verify school affiliations, etc.

It has potential; we just need to see if they go for it or become just another Facebook wannabe.

Vicky, your site is ugly as hell.
Can’t even imagine any teen wanting to browse it, let alone posting anything there.
