DISQUS

Good coverage Eric. I was recently in Japan, and have some findings from Japan and Social media --esp when it comes to user and corporate adoption.

RockYou and others may have a gap when it comes to getting corporations to understand social media --and act. Despite the fact that many of the population are using it.

What a waste of money. RockYou is the most frivolous startup of them all! It produces completely useless stuff! Like, TOTALLY USELESS!

Eric Eldon · 1 year ago

Millions of people find their apps entertaining, Steve, even if you and I don't. Entertainment is a business, you know.

It doesn't make sense for these VCs to invest in Rockyou. It produces useless garbage for batch of losers on myspace.

See my comment, above. I don't get the negativity.

I agree, Eric -- I don't get the negativity either. RockYou is a top notch company in a thriving space. This announcement should be hailed as good news that at least part of our economy is still healthy.

Millions of people now spend more time with social networks and social apps than they do with their televisions. Many big-name advertisers are starting to notice, too.

What I like most is that we all constantly are hearing how successful facebook and other social networking websites are. It’s a great success serving consumers with exactly what they want, but the more we start seeing third party solutions becoming successful add-ons the more diverse these social communities will become. It’s very encouraging to see such investment and revenue discussed, rock on rock you! Looking forward to seeing more companies successfully developing add-on widgets like this.

Good point Lee..... social software applications are here to stay. Here at Pipit Interactive we have been engineering a social commerce application for almost 3 years now and are excited to see Cos. like Rock You thrive. Social networks are here to stay and it's important to cater to these portals, so that the fabric of our social and business lives become one!

Social networking has always been with us. What is new is that we can social network with people we have never met face to face nor never will using the internet. I wish somebody would come up with a term that encompasses that aspect.

The social application is here and it is staying for good. There are so many applications out there that it is really hard to decide which one to use.
