I think, <a href="http://terrychay.com/blog/article/the-truth-about-yasns.shtml" rel="nofollow">unlike the past</a>, it is here to stay. But, that it will have to work hard to prove its Google-like valuations. The future of social networking will be how to make money (at good return to the advertisers) off them. The challenge will be to prove themselves not to be just another media product. As for meeting me at php|tek, just come up to me and say hi. I don’t bite. :-) @Rashaud: I do not have any special insight into the world of Social Networking.

What do you think the future of social networking will be? And I see you are the last keynote speaker at php|tek in Chicago where I know live...I would like to meet you there if possible. Hello Terry, been a while(you may not remember me) but anywho…

In Bebo’s case, their market share is pretty bad, but their presence, I’m told, is very large in Great Britain. That, I suppose, is the reason why they paid so much. Still, I’m very confused. In previous times, I'd guess that others just know more than me, but after the Iraq War, I’ve decided to trust my common sense before discounting it with talk from “experts.” @leo The value, I think, is a function of the spending ability of the market share.

As Bebo is relativly small it makes it easy to calculate the "value" of other companies. So according to alexa out site is 20 time smaller, so it must be worth 850mio$/20 = 42.5 mio. dollar. Probably we gona sell it in euro and make even more money :-D Oh, that’s cool. As Bebo is relativly small it makes it easy to calculate the “value” of other companies.
