Why would a Vendor allow members to LEAVE their social networks?

peepagg-logo.jpgIn this podcast with Steve Gillmor I explain some promotions we’re working on in inter-connecting social networks together - that will enable folks to move between social networks based upon incentives, prizes, real-world objects, etc. - when importing their friends into these new networks.

The trick is how to provide benefits to end-users - at the same time - as providing benefits to Vendors.

Once we pull off this sort of promotion - between our own customers - then hopefully we’ll be able to do it with other vertical networks or meta-networks such as Ning or Flux. And others will follow and then we’ll have definitive proof that open social networking can benefit ALL!

Because as we all know - the future is about 10,000s of niche, vertical, localized networks - rather than a world of giant centralized data lock-in silos. Right?

Enjoy the show!

BTW In this show - Steve asks me to approach Patrick Chanezon of Google and get an explanation from Google on why we should support or agree with OpenSocial - as long as Google is exploiting the GMail contacts. Patrick - please respond.

    To answer Dare’s question: “No - I have not been invited.” This is a gross example of the exclusionary, backroom politics that O’Reilly plays.

  13. I would agree with you on your answer, however I think it is only part of the answer. I think vendors will lose some marketshare. I wrote about this last week (http://blog.soocial.com/2008/1/16/the-incentive-to-share) I’ll save you the read:

    Why should they then allow their member’s data out?
    My take: it has to do with having a smaller piece of a bigger pie.

    Marc, what do you think?
