MySpace is announcing a competing platform to Facebook’s. Hi5.com is doing the same. I wouldn’t be surprised if sites like Digg follow suit. Also, Google is getting ready to launch a social networking platform.
TechCrunch’s Michael Arrington suggest that a company make a platform that simplifies the development of applications across the social networking platforms. Widgetbox has made a platform for developing widgets for Facebook. Perhaps they will take the lead here.
I think until there is a platform that simplifies the management, it’s incredibly difficult to run a site and applications. It’s almost like having multiple companies. And for small teams, this spreads them pretty thin.
