TechCrunch has an interesting interview with Reid Hoffman, Founder of Linkedin.
“MySpace is like a bar, Facebook is like the BBQ you have in your back yard with friends and family, play games, share pictures. Facebook is much better for sharing than MySpace. LinkedIn is the office, how you stay up to date, solve professional problems”
Whilst I share Reid’s feelings that communities need to stay distinct i think it’s a bit confusing to think of MySpace as a Bar. Lots of people say that when they log into our unique database that it looks just like a bar but can you really say that about MySpace?
Surely bar’s are filled with ‘real people’ who have to at least appear to be aged 18+.
