After the success of orkut in India, Indian internet biggies are looking at the social networking space with a lot of interest. People like ADAG are looking at a “me-too” model of orkut with bigadda.com

Try out this so called KOOL SITE and get back to me if you find even a single new concept in this site. Moreover, it makes you feel even bored with its irritating and non-user friendly UI. Only God can save them. 

Other people are looking to find some niches within the space. Take for example bharathstudent.com from Axill which claims to target students(!!).  Especially, their marketing strategies are awful and sometimes, unethical like spamming the whole orkut and other prominent sites.

A few other are looking at professional social networking sites like techtribe.com. It’s a desi version of linkedin. Even naukri, which has dismissed the existence of social networking sites just a few months back, has strated its own Social(Professional) networking site.

There is certainly a mad rush behind these sites and even VCs seem to love the concept of social networking to a large extent.

But, with no differentiation in the product offering and with the very low loyal userbase, I certainly can’t assume any business sense in spending so much in these networking sites.

However, people like ADAG can do miracles. They can prove me wrong and I will be the happiest person, if they are able to do so
 

Kudoos to these Guys
