The Rush to Social Networks

Excerpts:

"eMarketer estimates that in 2008 nearly 80 million people, 41% of the US Internet user population, visited social network sites at least once a month, an 11% increase from 2007."

"eMarketer projects that 79.7 million people, 40% of US Internet users, will create content on social networks at least once a month in 2009, either by updating a profile or communicating publicly."

This is good news to create models to monetize the vast social networks.

Ironic, but true. Good argument made about lack of content, not lack of revenue for declining readership.
