The Social network gold rush continues. Lat year, MySpace was acquired by news corp. for $580 million in cash. now, the other big social-networking sites are the subjects or rumors, deals, and transactions. Yahoo was interested in acquiring Facebook for $1 billion, but the company's youthful founder are holding out for more. Warner music earlier this month cut a revenue sharing deal with youtube. in August, google and MySpace struck a $900 million agreement for google to sell adds on myspace. what an very costing expensive websites.. what do u think? what can you say about it?

These social networking sites are really making big money and we dont get anything by being one of their faithful members.Sigh.. Well i have come to an awakening stage where i need to earn for a change while being online.Hard times now and electricity is not free , so is internet. Im glad that i was exposed to sites where u can earn online.

I dunno, i'm personally thinking Facebook/Myspace/etc. are more of a fad. In about 2-3 years they will probably be pretty desolate. I mean. Heck. I remember Xanga which most people don't even recall and I remember that being immensely popular. Heck, I don't know if it's just me but Myspace seems to be dying as well. In a social networking type of site like Facebook, I would give it a year or so more then sell it off to someone as I would be better off. But yeah, $1 billion. Heck. I would be glad to get rid of it(or at least most of it. I would still want to keep some kind of % of ownership in it to collect up a good bit of money still!), relax for a bit, and then me personally would go attempt to launch some new kind of venture.. and $1billion to do so is a pretty endless source of income, lol.
