To Build Something Better...Web 3.0 Generation

From George:

Recently I read an article on TechCrunch on How Facebook can become bigger in five years than google is today and it was a very interesting read in terms of what Facebook could do within their ecosystem.  With the amount of users Facebook has, they can very easily make new apps or features industry leading instantly.   But what really intrigued me was how the author ended the article, it was a call for people to build something better.  He questioned why no one was trying to build a better social network and said he will help as much as he can for anyone who is trying to and even offered a connection with a VC.  Well unfortunately after I reached out to him, he neither helped nor made the connection for us with the VC.  But we at MyLifeRank shares the same view with him in terms of why no one even tries to compete with Facebook anymore.  All of the new start up sites these days are either an add-on for Facebook or an app within Facebook, seems like everyone has just given in. 

Well today Mashable put up an article showing a global map view of all social networks from 2007 and 2010 and it's truly amazing to see how things have changed in the last three years.  These days with the Internet it's all about innovation, if you stop innovating you get crushed. 

I am not saying that MyLifeRank will ever overtake Facebook but it does show how much things can change within a very short time. I do believe there is a place for MyLifeRank and our unique network can very well change how the Web 3.0 generation will turn out. Almost everything you seen on the social network map for 2010 relates to something a person does online, very little actually encourages or motivates people to go outside to socialize. The very term of being "social" has been defined with the Web 1.0 or Web 2.0 generation as doing things with your friends online or engaging in what they have done in the past. MyLifeRank wants to start the Web 3.0 generation by offering a network and the tools necessary to get people to get off the computer to socialize.
