War of Social-Networking Sites

Its becoming more and more interesting in the space of Social Networking sites. There are a lot of sites which were born after seeing the MySpace and Facebook success. But, not sure how many of them would last in the online world for a long time. There was a time (2000), when the dotcom burst happened, but soon after the internet era had begun. It had done a lot to many companies around the world, the most important company to note in this is Google. It made simple products, but yet powerful.

On the social networking sites, Google also has its product. www.orkut.com I would say that this site doesn’t offer you a lot of features which MySpace and Facebook offers, but yet this is the site I use mostly than the others. The reason is simple: My motto here is to connect with my friends, and most of my friends are in Orkut. I do started using Facebook lately, but don’t have much friends in my list.

Coming back to the social networking sites, I would put Live Spaces as my top site, just because of the features this gives me. Just to name a few – Blog, Photos, Events, et al. Keep watching, this list would definitely grow. I do use Spaces/Blog as my personal blog, use Spaces/Photos to great extent. Orkut doesn’t give Blogs inside – Blogs are simple, but yet powerful. I wonder why Google didn’t still integrate Blogger and Orkut. Those are two great things to be clubbed together.

So, coming back to the war of social networking sites, I’m not too sure how many companies are here to stay. I would definitely say Live Spaces, MySpace, Facebook, Orkut are here to stay, but how long? Not sure if there would be any social-networking burst and boom like what happened to dotcom industry on 2000.

Let’s wait and watch!

BTW, what are your thoughts on this?
