Not only with micro-blogging platforms, social media sites etc. but information in general quickly becomes regurgitated over and over again. As a result it quickly loses it's effectiveness and popularity. That is the challenge anyone who wants to cause a viral movement will face. Get creative, be original and be relevant or get know where! <abbr><em><abbr><em>Jay Clarks last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Er/arbor-blog-feed/%7E3/474362252/jayclark54" rel="nofollow">Links for 2008-12-03 [del.icio.us]</a></em></abbr></em></abbr> Your observation is one I’ve been pondering a lot lately.

I'm still getting invites from new sites, particularly in the 'corporate executive' category (the LinkedIn-type sites). When I check them out they're offering nothing new - so why would I want yet another site to manage, build up and respond to..? I'd only be replicating my contacts and activities. The shakeout has to come!

The shakeout has to come!

I always assume everything is being managed perfectly. I probably need to stop that. :) Could very well be the case. I always assume everything is being managed perfectly.

First it was they had to sell LiveJournal now it is Pounce. Both sites had huge amounts of traffic, which to me sounds like poor management rather than unpopularity. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Brad Hart @ A DoFollow Blogs last blog post..<a href="http://bloggingfornoobs.com/wordpressthemes/black-white/" rel="nofollow">Blogging in Black and White</a></em></abbr></em></abbr> It seems to me that it wasn’t necessarily pounce that is in trouble, but Six Apart.

Though Pownce guys probably had monetization potential, but they obviously have better deal with SixApart. Even Twetter itself is not yet profitable (I think so), they still have to come out with monetization plan in the begging of 2009. Until now they only built traffic. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Slobas last blog post..<a href="http://www.web2whizzing.com/youtubes-widescreen-video/" rel="nofollow">Youtube’s Widescreen Video, Obama’s First Change</a></em></abbr></em></abbr> Totally agree Jack, you have to be innovative other way you’re down.
