		<description>FREE CODE = DEATH to CyWorld in USA

Fortunately - users in the US have many options, and CyWorlds - take-it-or-leave-it from their collection of graphics and mini items is not likely to appeal to many myspace users.

MySpace may be terrible tecnnically - and not appeal to the geek "technorati" in elegance - but it is King with users - and it's easy to see why:

FREEDOM

The fundamental problem is diversity with the CyWorld Approach - MySpace has created a huge ecosystem of companies like www.skem9.com www.blemeshack.com www.glitter-graphics.com www.dolliecrave.com www.myonda.com www.createblog.com

the list and diveristy of sites serving different interests - with different layouts, graphics, video, music etc. to customize your profile - or ANY OTHER profile on another social network is astounding. There are litterally millions upon millions of items from thousands of sites. CyWorld only offers their items - yes for cute acorns, but C'mon?? Who would pay? All the sites offer Free Code - that you can put on any blog, website, profile, wherever...and they are not going away. 

www.blemeshack.com has even launched a meta search engine to search all the other sites to find these free items and the free code...

You Tube is another Major market force - in distributing their video  codes free - they have grown to be the market leader - and the dozens of video offerings that have followed - have all had to offer their video codes for distrbution - to MySpace profiles, blogs, and anywhere else...

Other social networks will grow - and in time - one may top myspace - but it will be based on leveraging all the FREE decoration and enhancement codes ALREADY out there... not by building a closed walled community - and trying to trick users with cutesy garbage into paying for a poorer choice of items.

Look at Tag World - which has tried to push and push it's own "widgets" (technically elegant and loved by techies) to enhance your profile - after tons of money spent - it's numbers still suck. Lost Cherry is a good example of an SN that is embracing all of the MySpace content sites - and enhancing some messaging features - and growing like a rocket. They have another revenue idea which is getting users to review advertisers offerings more closely - in exchage for points - but they are doing nothing to try to lock users in, and fully support HTML grabbed from any where - and stored in users bleme Shacks.

In the end - the equation is simple:

Free Code + Leveraging Existing Content + Demographic focus =&#62; Social Networking success.

		<description>Well, this is just a copy of aeroworld (aeropostale.com) and cokemusic (cokemusic.com) where individuals own a room where they customize with virtual things to put in their rooms. I find it quite odd how people would buy those things when in the US it's just free. 

If this does get popular in the USA, then it's just sad. Nuff said.



I just happened across this so by all means flame me if you want, since I won't be coming back anytime soon. Cheers.</description>

		<description>It's about to be released at the end of August in the states.

I think the target market for here is definitely the younger kids.

Although, I wonder how their allowances will stack up to the money spent by 20 somethings.

What do you think?</description>
