The word on the street these days is that social networking is in difficulty. MySpace network is, for all practical purposes, the only success of the site, with more than $ 20 million ad sales this year and many long-stay customers.

Social Network Fatigue is getting worse with every new site that comes and it does not have. In the very near future, you will not have access to social networking sites to interact with friends, each site social networks have built Web 2.0 is here.

Social networks has many problems as both a business and a cultural phenomenon. Firstly there is usually no real business model. This may vary a little application to application, but most are simply competing for eyeballs and hoping Google ads to pay bills until some large companies to make a bid, they can not refuse.

Web 2.0 is about to be distilled to space companies, allowing employees to interact with each other in the same way as members of a social networking site. However, instead of sharing information about movie stars, music genres and cool Web sites, users share information on labour related issues, such as projects and staff skill sets.

Social work in a network is inevitable under the weight of the dot-com curse (you have to find money). No matter how cool your idea, it is dead on arrival without a real business plan. At least, is the theory. If this is true, however, why blogs, which seems to be a clear idea on the interest charge, but without a concrete revenue stream, managed to not only thrive, but really dominate the Web.

Social networks are this year's "Next Big Thing." Facebook is so hot that it is theoretically worth 15 billion dollars. Because it would have reinvented something enormous: how human beings in their social interaction cliques and circles. With the advancement of technology and capacity for each site to become a social networking site, it can not get bigger.

One of the great benefits of networking of social services is that they significantly reduce the effort to keep in touch with friends and keeping contacts updated. This allows users to share and safeguard content when they are traveling, share calendars, and specify when they are available for a phone call. Allowing consumers to automatically communicate their location to contact their base is a risk move, which is a meeting with initial resistance because of privacy.

There is a lot to say about web2.0, that the networks to develop information about you easier to get your habits and the type of people you hang up. You must therefore be prudent to post photos of yourself and your semi-clad friends boozing till late at night can sink your chances with a potential employer, which will doubtless be snooping around for this kind of incriminating evidence. But the good far outweighs the bad. No doubt all the blog, MySpace and Facebook are mentions help.

What will probably happen in the creation of social networks is that some applications survive on a more modest at present, other morph for a new Next Big Thing. It is true hard core of social networks jumped to more advanced technologies that eliminate the riff-raff. In the meantime, 70 per cent of most features of social networks (the really useful feature) will be drawn into the dominant social networks such as MSN and Yahoo.
