Most of the successful websites that I’ve seen around often elicit the participation of the community to get the best content. Social bookmarking services like Digg, Delicious and StumbleUpon are mainly powered by the community. Even Google’s pagerank technology is based on other people’s linked content.

My social network in Friendster is mostly a collection of my classmates in grade school and high school years, as well as those people whom I’ve worked with. Some of them are still in the country (the Philippines) and others have moved on to find opportunities in other countries. Leading social networks are taking steps to connect mobile phones to socialContinue reading »
