Are There Better Sites For Business Networking Than Myspace?

By: James M. Crosswell

Everyone knows of the phenomenal success of sites like MySpace and FaceBook over the past couple of years. Reports show a growth of almost 50% in the top social networking sites and a huge growth of over 350% for MySpace alone.

Some people are afraid of the potential negative impact these sites may have on our children whereas social scientists and others see it as a beneficial aspect of today's society. Also applauding the rise of social networking are online marketers who have struck a proverbial goldmine for selling their wares.

While being a fun endeavor, using these social networking sites, the online marketers also are able to meet business contacts, new customers, old friends and even meeting new friends interested in the same things as they are. All the while, making a good profit on the side.

While Facebook has made impressive strides to compete with the lightning growth of MySpace, it still has a way to go to take down the giant. However, most observers agree that Facebook's more controlled and deliberate growth will be an asset to them in the future. Could there be another social site that may controlled growth plan of it's own? Could there be one looking to specialize in a certain niche like business owners and online marketers.

While it is agreed that Google's bazillion(just kidding, closer to a billion) dollar investment in MySpace shows that the guys with the huge heads and even the super geniuses they have working for them see something good inside social networking sites.

As of December 18th, 2007 MySpace has over 300 million registered accounts and attracts aver 200,000 new accounts on a daily basis. The effectiveness of MySpace as an advertising medium is highlighted by the use of it by 2008 US Presidential hopefuls.

While there is still a lot of room for growth and profits on MySpace, it is ideal to always look for new opportunities in social networking. There are a lot of wannabees that have started out small like Giblink but just like MySpace, it has a lot of potential for growth.

It seems like the owners of these sites are commanding huge amounts of money and deservedly so, as they are the owners of each of their sites. Some of the newer players on the market, such as GibLink, are actually revenue sharing with their users. If MySpace did that each one of their 300 million accounts should have gotten a check from Google for about $330. This seems like fantasy, but GibLink is sharing its revenue with its users.
