Socialstream at Carnegie Mellon
Is Google finally admiting defeat with Orkut? This project, financed by them at Carnegie Mellon, tries to "Rethink and reinvent online social networking ". It is clear, both for Yahoo and Google, that the way new large communities develop and conform will affect advertising and both Internet giants want to be there first.
This will also affect the way eBay, for instance, will deal with its "power sellers" or Amazon with its associated shops. The problem is, at present, too many general purpose social networks and very few "very focus" ones.
