October 2007 Interesting with the claim that the trend will end. Some people would argue that 'social networks' just is another phase in the development of the web. That user added content and high interaction levels will be natural part of the most webpages in the future. But again, who knows what the internet and www will be in five years? A lot of things have changed since 2002, back then the majority of the webs pages was still plain static content :)

Social-networking sites will enlist 230 million active members by the end of the year and will keep attracting new users until at least 2009, according to an analyst report. But investors are still wary--and for good reason, as long-term growth is by no means certain. Reply
