That first nugget ignores that some people invest a lot of time and effort into their online identity via a social networking site. They aren't going to switch in a heartbeat.
- run4yourlives 19y agoSocial App users don't switch by packing up all their belongings and moving them to another site, they just start up a new profile and build there instead. If you think of it that way, it's not an either-or proposition. I can continue to have my profile on your site, but I won't venture there as much, you lose the ad revenue, and the downward spiral continues.
- brlewis 19y agoI agree with you. I disagree with the article's "zero loyalty" claim.
- run4yourlives 19y agoPoint is that it's close enough to zero that you won't be able to react fast enough to it.

- sabhishek 19y agoI don't know how much true is what your saying, a month back I switched to Facebook from Orkut and I find lots of ppl doing the same. Facebook is a clear winner thats why I joined in and if something better comes, I won't mind switching again.
- brlewis 19y agoYou're making my point. Facebook started to pass Orkut three years ago, and you didn't change until last month. It doesn't happen in a heartbeat. "Zero loyalty" just doesn't fit the facts. 2007, fb way ahead: http://blogs.zdnet.com/social/?p=114 http://blogs.zdnet.com/social/?p=114 2006, fb ahead: http://changesgood.wordpress.com/2006/09/23/myspace-is-in-vouge-but-orkut-is-the-real-winner/ http://changesgood.wordpress.com/2006/09/23/myspace-is-in-vo... 2004, fb catches up: http://www.blogpulse.com/2004_review/2004review_socialnetworks.html http://www.blogpulse.com/2004_review/2004review_socialnetwor...
- sabhishek 19y agoYeah true, I agree. Call it resistance against change or little loyality, it takes some time to shift. Friendster is still #1 in Philippines.
