Why I think ClickFraud is far greater than imagined. (Blog Maverick)

Jun 2nd 2006 12:23PM The bad part is, it isn't just hackers. People think splogs, and other made for adsense websites is a reputable business. On youngentrepreneur.com forums people recommend this as one of the best businesses to start. It isn't a business, it's a scame. Furthermore, its filling up the net with useless junk.

Mugshot: Red Hat's open source social networking site (Download Squad)

Jun 1st 2006 12:04PM I'm not sure why they praised it on Boing Boing. While I think they have a great start at Mugshot, their current feature set isn't worth the download required.

It will become a much more powerful tool when they add in other features besides Link Swarm and Music Radar.

Top 10 social networking sites see 47% growth (The Social Software Weblog)

May 18th 2006 1:52AM One thing to note about those numbers is that while Classmates had one of the lowest positive growth rates at 10%, they spend loads on advertising while MySpace, Youtube, and Facebook haven't spent a penny.

If I recall correctly, a couple years ago Classmates.com was one of the 10 largest spenders on online advertising.
