POPSAdult Social Network Zivity Will Fail ... Miserably Web 3.0 Startup Checklist: 1. New Take on a Social Network: CHECK 2. Built With Uber Cool Rails: CHECK 3. Investment from Rich Web 1.0 Moguls: CHECK 4. Crazy Ass Business Model: CHECK The idea for Zivity is good, but the execution is not in line with the market, and I know a little something about the pron market. I mean who doesn't? According to VB, they want the photos to be "fine erotica" submitted by hot people where paid subscribers vote and follow these local hotty attention whores. Hmmm sounds a lot like MySpace ... which is free ... and prob has 1000 times more local hotties to stalk than Zivity has. Where do I sign up? Oh that's right I can't (it's in private beta) Pron is free all over the mighty Interweb. There are free social networks, free attention whores, free fine erotica photos and free adult blogs to keep everyone more than satisfied.

POPSSkype Outage Highlights Mahalo's Faults? No offense Allen but you're just plain wrong here. Yes Mahalo doesn't pick up "new" news as quickly as automated bots, again just like Alexa as long as you understand how the data is collected this shouldn't be a surprise. The important question here is; Will the Skype outage of Thursday August 16th 2007 really go down as a "newsworthy" topic? One that would warrant a complete page on Mahalo? The answer is No, of course not, the story barely belongs in Google's index as I'm sure it's already been resolved and 99.99998% of the population didn't even notice. As far as Mahalo using social news site to promote original articles I don't really take issue with that, Jason will just need to be careful not to focus too much on that sort of social baiting. As you can see from Digg, most social communities tend to boil down the the least common denominator as the audience exands.

POPSBebo Social Network Top in UK ... For Now I tend to think Steve isn't going out on a limb much here in predicting that Facebook will overtake both MySpace and Bebo to take the UK Social Networking crown. Bebo (design wise) looks very much like YouTube, and not knowing the history here I can't comment as to why.

POPSSpock is a Search Engine Made of People! The social search scene is great and all, and I'm sure there's a market there but I'm also sure there's lots of people who DON'T want to show up in Spock's results. What is the "opt out" feature like?

POPSSocial Lending from LendingClub Social lending sites have always peeked my interest, but I've never thought of myself as a candidate (as I generally don't have any credit issues). LendingClub appears to be another entrant into the social money swap arena, hopefully they're not too late.
