I fear my wordplay failed. Better to just say they are creatures of habit. (period)

Anyways, perhaps Power.com will be popular in a time when unemployment is reaching 2.5 mil in the US. Lets all get on multiple networks.

If Power.com lets Orkuters add more than 999 friends to a single profile, then success is to be had, lol. If Power dumps its main idea and works on being an add-on or improvement to Orkut, perhaps their popularity will rise. Nonetheless, the same problem arises, TOS. Here’s an idea, create neighborhoods like Oglobo’s Bairros.com, sort of like FB’s old Networks function, only build it up to where its actually useful.

Thus far, I don’t know anybody on Orkut who prefers Power, much less knows about it. Brazilians aren’t creatures of habit(ually switching networks). They found Fotolog, they stayed. They found Orkut, they stayed. They found MSN, they stayed.

Phoe Sue,

you seem so frightened.

I respect that, cause I meet lots of people thinking like you do. Let it be said; Facebook is not like “shoes”, never will everybody use it.

But social networks are child of their time. Now people have ALWAYS loved looking passed the hedge at what neighbors, friends, colleagues are doing. Yet quite new is that Generation Y (our youngsters 1980-2000) are very interested in showing everybody who “they” are. They are much more high profile then older people. Now these two human needs (one old and one new) are being satisfied by these social networks.

So Yes, Facebook sucks when you are not interested in your old friends (or enemies like you call them). And it sucks even harder when you are not interested in letting people know who you are.

But hey, HERE you are on TechCrunch reading people’s thoughts, ventilating your opinion and networking with people you don’t know. Could it be that you in fact really really like social networks?

Fadbook needs to mature and get ready for the open social niche market location based landrush.

fadboook does not have a strategic natural language location based niche market open social offering. maybe if they did they could be considered a serious “lets get something accomplised” website.

LandrushLocator.com – position yourself

Facebook, in addition to its flawless user experience, combines a host of functions that pull crowds: inmail, FriendsFinder (I have found over 50!!), that is before you talk about photos.

In order for anyone to take you seriously, you may want to consider updating your copyright year at the bottom of your website from 2008 to 2009. Just a thought. All the best with your empire.

Alexandre Linhares,

You are stupid. Social networking is a fad. It will go away. Like any club. Good for about 2-5 years, then it will slowly disappear and never heard of again. People get tired of their old friends. Make enemies from their old friends, etc.

How can stupid person like Alexandre be allowed to comment?
