Does anyone use bebo

At its height in , Bebo had 40 million users and saw over 1 billion page views a week. But the behemoth corporation wasn't able to make money off the site, and mainly left it for dead. When the social network went on the auction block for a second time, Birch decided to step in. He and his team at Monkey Inferno, his tech incubator company, outbid mobile social network Tagged and dating site Match.

Chump change, considering how much AOL paid Birch for it originally. The site currently sees about , hits a day from an estimated 3 million monthly users. All that's left is a loyal following overseas in the U. Well, that and apparently, people who draw profane images on profiles. Birch, who is from England, discusses the situation with his usual quirky charm in the video below. If you're offended by certain anatomical images, or don't enjoy sassy British humor, don't watch it.

He talks about a well-known Bebo feature called the whiteboard that the company created in hopes of drawing people away from Facebook. It was like an MS Paint feature on your profile, on which people could leave drawings. The whiteboard, unfortunately, inspired legions of images more commonly associated with the walls of a bathroom stall. I can't, I drew a couple myself. Birch vows to "wipe the slate clean," and in doing so, make something new. He said the creators of the video, U. Puri said he knows there's a tough road ahead, given the challenges of trying to revive a nearly dead brand.

Involvement and representation in communities are critical to the human experience, and social media should enhance this. Online communities frequently lack many of the social norms of the real world. Following the success of the original Bebo we established a considerably smaller and more focussed community in the form of a private members club called The Battery.

Bebo now combines the best elements of both to create a new kind of online community. Our goal is to provide a safe environment where mutual respect is the baseline, individuality and creativity is encouraged, and diversity is celebrated. I have had such a success with myspace, I would like to expand to other social networking sites. I have been looking at other popular sites and Bebo came up. I thought bebo was for kids though. Does anyone know? Do you use them?

If so, what has your response been? From every indication ,i think you are on the right part and i believe you can get a lot of exposure on bebo,like i said i have never used it before but i had looked into the site i think you can get something out of it quite a lot of school kid stuffs there.

Thank you for the advice.
