“Social Networking”

June 3, 2004 by Michael Boyle

“Social Networking”

is such a mess. LinkedIn makes it almost impossible to find anyone you know or to contact them when you have. Orkut is a toy with amateurish online forum offerings. But Ryze is by far the worst of them all. It is no more than the Classmates.com of the space, with endless pitches (luckily you can control the email you receive), but with no ability to browse people. They’re basically trying to force users to upload their Outlook address book, which is a joke. And the users themselves – it’s a bunch of Herbalife and other pseudo-pyramid losers trying to hook people into a scam. Screw that.
