Different Social Networks Are... Different

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the also-salt-tastes-salty dept.

An anonymous reader writes "International Business Times reports that not all online social networks are the same, according to new research released this week. Internet research firm, comScore Networks, said on Thursday that significant age differences exist between the user bases of these websites. "While the top social networking sites are typically viewed as directly competing with one another, our analysis demonstrates that each site occupies a slightly different niche," commented Jack Flanagan, executive vice president of comScore Media Metrix."

    Are you suggesting that most /.ers don't also spend time hanging out at in other technical fora? That's crazy talk.

    You know, I don't usually like troll-y comments, but that was spot on. (And humorous, too.)

    I don't even mind the karma I'm going to lose from this post.

    I still think there needs to be a voice component to social networking.

    I have a few clients who are using our Mexuar Corraleta technology for voice driven dating (www.mexuar.com or www.Corraleta.com ) but these guys are primarily driven by 1900 'adult' billing so they are using a credit card to 'time charge' their web interface.

    I'm looking forward to working with a customer who wants to implement a free for all "click to talk" strategy on a social networking site for voice interaction.

    BTW if you want to see a demo and are going to be in Dallas for Astricon we launch our USA sales on the 24th of October.

    Cheers,
