Thanks for the comment. I agree they have a lot of challenges - not least of which is the fact that people will stay where their friends are - but the point of difference they have is that it puts users back in control of their own data, which is a very user-friendly proposition. As has been shown by history networks can scale (and decline in scale) relatively quickly so it will be interesting to watch, alright. Hi Stef. Thanks for the comment.

I am sure a nice number of people will use it but without money, constant development and promotion I don't see at this stage in the game why loads of people will switch. It will be interesting to watch a network try and grow from launch with now such an established industry watching. I would also suspect that, unfortunately, more people will trust their data, rightly or wrongly, to Facebook, than to some software written by these four.
