		<description>A new technology has been unleashed that has
completely rocked the online social networking arena! 

Every now and then, a new product is released 
that makes the old way of doing things obsolete. 
Those are rare, and hard to find ...

But, MyInterOpPro.net, one of the most brilliant software designers for developing software tools that make your social network thrive has just released a 
new web application called "MyInterOp Pro" that
will give you a connected social network that is
safe, secure &#38; private.

In fact, MyInterOp Pro has avid social networkers
who manage over 20 different social networking
memberships all under one user name and password
because it's an aggregator of sorts. 

This technological masterpiece has already been 
PROVEN to eliminate your risk of online predators,
identity thieves, and scammers from ever getting 
their hands on you and your private information.

It's basically a "virtual body guard" that never
sleeps and keeps working for you to keep
you and/or your loved ones' social network 
safe, secure &#38; private!

I highly recommend MyInterOp Pro, and in my 
honest opinion, in this day and age everyone
that is an avid social networker must have 
a "virtual body guard" working for them!

Even if you have a safe list of "good" folks and have your settings  on so-called "private" ... you're safety's still at risk! Read up about it on Google if you doubt me.

Hope to see you online real soon.</description>

		<description>Scott ,

I completely agree.  There are so many social networking sites available that the space is fragmenting exponentially.  At some point there will have to be some consolidation or at least a way to pull information into a single interface.

Take LinkedIn for example.  They have clearly captured the professional market with a couple of great features--People, Answers and especially the Jobs components.  The problem though is it's not clear how the average user can take advantage of the wealth of information.

Case in Point:  I have 225 1st degree connections, 17,000+ 2nd degree connections and 1.7+ million 3rd degree connections.  By the numbers this is a healthy network.  But what do I do with it?

For me there are two things I would like LinkedIn to help me accomplish:

1.  Enhance my face-to-face networking (it does a great job helping me here)
2.  Help me close more business (not so great)

To accomplish # 2 I have to have a way to conduct a detailed search of the 1.7 million people to find those who would be good prospects for me.  For now I can narrow by location, by industry, but what about more specific demographics?  The keyword search just doesn't do the job.

If I look through my 215 connections, and look at the people they are connected to I see that about 20% of the people have included their current company size.  Viewing about 500 profiles I found about 20 companies with 51 to 200 employees (this of course took about 6 hours)

Next I did a search using the keyword function with "51-200 employees" as the keyword and 1 company was listed in the search result.  Some where there is a disconnect.

There is a tremendous amount of information that users of social media sites are providing as content to these sites, but there is no effective way to sort the information into meaningful data.

The company that finds a way to mine this information in an ethical manner will not only provide the grounds to take social networking to the next level, but will get extremely rich in the process.

I'm excited about the future potential but for now I'm saying "Where's the beef?"</description>
