Social Network for Remolacheros
So what does this mean? In my opinion, I think… Remolacha.net will gain more members from word of mouth and Remolacheros emailing friends to join the group. At the same time, it’ll gain more readers for it’s already popular Dominican news blog… the content of the social group will need stay catchy so that the readers and it’s members maintain a live forum.
It appears to be that Ning has found a nitch for creating social networks. As it says in the Wikipedia…
Ning hopes to compete with large social sites like MySpace and Facebook, by appealing to users who want to create networks around specific interests or have limited technical skills
My question is, will this platform for creating social networks that are based on specific interests lead the young Dominican population that are members of Hi5, Myspace, and Facebook to pertain to 1 particular social network?
With the number of social sites now a days I’ve lost count how many there are. We have Hi5, Myspace, Facebook and now Ning. How in the world are you supposed to decide which one you want to pertain to? It seems like programmers and developers are all competing with each other on who can create the most popular, useful, non-developer customizable interface logic there could possibly exist.
You can also customize Ning networks to manage ads, add more storage and bandwidth and use your own domain (I’d suggest Remo to include this one).
Remolacha.net is by far the best blog within the Dominican blogosphere. I don’t know of any other Dominican blog with the content or the readers that it has. I think that the latest attraction of its social network will make the few bloggers that want to imitate it’s existence will have a hard time, especially now since it has it’s own Hi5/Myspace/Facebook.
Debo admitirlo, pero ya como que existe una saturación de social networks, especialmente en la isla. En el caso de Remolacha.net ya es una red social en sí, aún siendo en esencia un blog.
Acuerdate lo que paso cuando mataron a la gallina de los huevos de oro…por querer sacar mas, lo perdieron todo. Creo que si algo no esta mal y no hay competencia, para que tratar de areglar o anadirle mas vainas?
Yo creo que es natural que las redes sociales se vayan fragmentando más a medida que pase el tiempo, como también es natural que en un tiempo muchas dejen de existir. En el caso de remo, es una vaina digna de estudio, yo creo que lo que ha pasado es que los dominicanos que recién salimos del rezago tecnológico nos encontramos de pronto con una versión propia y en miniatura de todos los fenómenos que están pasando en la red, o sea tenemos un digg dominicano, un TMZ , un Youtube dominicano y por lo que veo ahora un MySpace dominicano. Como dije, digno de apreciar.
Nahh,, se me metió lo analítico
