Blogs Outbuzz Social Networking

Posted on March 22, 2005

Social Networking was the big buzz word last year and now it isn't. Blogs have quickly overtaken social networking as the hottest trend. Leading web companies like Yahoo and MSN have attempted to merge the trends together, MSN with MSN Spaces and Yahoo with its upcoming Yahoo 360 launch. Google also has Orkut, but has yet to link it directly into its Blogger.com service. Wired offers a look at the business aspects behind social networking and how a few of leading companies are faring (LinkedIn, MySpace, Friendster, Ryze).

Update: Here we are in 2014 and none of the above social networks above exist. MSN Spaces, Yahoo 360 and Orkut have all been shut down.
