Actually, my point is rather to understand how you can become a Web 2.0 leader - which Linkedin is, sorry for France's excellent service Viadeo - in virtually no time, with little money and basic technology. I really do not intend to underrate the tremendous work of Facebook's engineers for example, but I have always been struck by the discrepancy between software and Web 2.0 websites. For exeample, some Web 2.0 sites such as Facebook can achieve a tremendous popularity while programmed with little effort, in comparison of software powerhouses which, despite millions lines of codes, might never emerge among its competitors.

Basically, these are websites where you fill in a profile, which will be centralized in a database, and then users may browse your profile, (all the rest being secondary, really). However, your blog is interesting. Nice to discover new things thanks to Tech IT Easy.

Moreover, they prefer to work and think about business solely by them own and initiatives, which tries to change this situation are signed as "buzzword" and "web2.0 bullshit" Hope it will change someday.

I just sent you to your hec address a very basic document that I had written on the "shopping communities". It is not very analytical but it might help you for I regard shopping communities to have some commonalities with social networks (are they considered as such?). Anyway. Good luck. ps:I write my thesis on the following theme, any help (jds182@gmail.com) will be appreciated: "How did the 2001 bursting of the technology bubble influenced the e-commerce sector?".
