2 categories of people who use any product : one who just use it and never voice an opinion and keep cribbing; second who speak up and don’t crib. Online offerings are services and i think you should not think you just wasted time commenting.

i would have used myspace, but that was like a year ago… so only think would be facebook.

twitter is sms based and the majority of these sites can be reached via wap all of which is cheaper. This is nothing to even write about. I myself have just wasted 30 seconds of my own commenting.

The content aggregation business is not something that will survive for too long. Businesses are cashing in the extreme short run. And Verizon also missed Twitter, Linkedin, etc.

My problem with Social Network aggregation is the user experience. Verizon has gone down the path of “we need to be in it, but we cant be f%4ked with it.”

This application takes a scalpel to feature sets and UI’s of made for mobile services… let alone web-to-mobile services. The business model is floored too, but I am not going to go down that path.

How could you use Myspace on a mobile device? Myspace is so chock full of ads they’d never fit on such a tiny screen.

Sorry Stefan. Opera Mini’s a no-no on Verizon dumbphones.

It’s a damn shame too.

What about opera mini? :P it can do all of this, plus facebook and twitter and everything else, for free!

Don’t a lot of people still use myspace?

I really don’t know. I don’t use any of them, but it seems like I still hear a lot about it.

Their worthlessness will conveniently keep people from overusing the network.
