Social Networks Report

Within the past couple of months we have been working smart and hard on a new social network and community site.

One result of this research is our latest report on social networks.

Excellent work Chris,

With all the noise going on in online networking particularly, it is good to have an overview of the key players and what they represent.

This is particularly useful for people getting started and inviting and attracting others to join one’s preferred networking sphere(s).

Thankyou
Shaun

I looked into this report as I use a couple of social networking services, and was interested in learning more. It’s odd that they don’t mention namesdatabase.com at all, as that is the one all of my friends, especially internationally, are using, and it’s huge compared to the ones they’re talking about here.

What are good companies that can design your comunity network for your company

Chris Nagele on October 27th, 2005 at 10:38 pm

We design and build social networks. The report was published as part of the research phase on a current project launching in the next few months.

The reason that namesdatabase.com is not mentioned is probably related to the fact that it’s an email harvesting system for spam.

I love the idea of online communities for the good. Sometimes they can be “poised” for the bad by certain users. Any ideas on security for these new communities?
