Social networking

[Mike Ward]

About it failing - that's entirely true if he's planning on just tossing up
yet another site on the internet for general consumption, but I don't think
it's so true if he's planning on using this for a specific group. I've seen
a small locally-run website for a smallish suburb run their own youtube-ish
site, and while they'll never have ten thousand users, that wasn't their
goal, either. They use it to share city council meetings, city event videos,
that sort of thing. In terms of that, it's a success.
