Let me rephrase: "People are born to work. Once they discover this inevitable truth, they will abandon social websites" ...and return to their cubicles.
I think, this is absurd, even if I remove the cubicles part. Social networks do not end at work and do not have to be profitable. Most of my friends on Facebook are older than thirty (they range from 19 to 55 years old). None of them (including my daughter) sells me anything (in the merchant sense). -- Oleh Kovalchuke Interaction Design is design of time http://www.tangospring.com/IxDtopicWhatIsInteractionDesign.htm Jeff Seager wrote: > ...
