@Kode: Here is a theory:

Its all about eyeballs and data!! Social networks are a gold mine for user data. Over time, technologies will be built to get a better behavioral profile of the user, and hence get better at predicting user intent.

We are not there yet, But i think we are not far off from the following scenario: A guy working for a HiTech company gets married; The AdNetworks start showing him ads on Cars and housing loans!!

However, something interesting is happening to these walled gardens. DataPortability, OpenSocial, FriendConnect…are initiatives that have the potential to break the walls!!

@Kode: I am still not far off to your statement “but none of these socionets have any revenue model”

I dont understand this dwelling on social networks and their revenue models anyways. There are a gazillion other services which can be argued on the same basis.

@Kode: They dont? Facebook makes about 140 million in revenues. I think the factual phrase is “they dont have a USP”.

Its all very simple. If you socialize and pay for it, its Matrimonial 2.0. If you dont, then its a socionet
