    New Site: CommonRoom

    Hi,

    This is some blatant self-promotion since I've been working on the site, but it might help some people out, so I thought I'd mention it. There are already many MBAs on the network from very, very good schools.

    I've recently launched CommonRoom as an alternative to sites like Facebook and MySpace. However, the real goal is to make a spam-free e-mail network, where everyone is authenticated--the kind of sort of insane thing only a crazy entrepreneur would do, I suppose. So, if you want to check it out or sign up on the waiting list, visit:

    http://www.commonroom.com

    And if you have any suggestions, be sure to let me know.

    Thanks,

    James,

    Suffice it to say that it was expensive. Hopefully, it was also worth it.

    yes, there are suggestions.

    pretty much all SN sites, including those I've been involved with, learn a very hard lesson when they try to ramp up their membership. the lesson is this:

    marketing an SN site to individuals does not work, for a number of important reasons

    to solve this problem, the site has to be marketed to groups of people. in other words - SN sites that offer individuals an opportunity to make new friendships - fail.

    SN sites that relocate existing, real world social networks to cyberspace do really well.

    for an example, see http://www.startup-review.com/blog/m...iral-start.php

    I'm involved in marketing a university SN site at the moment. Please contact me if you want to chat.
