Resistance to Yuwie from committed MySpacers

Will Yuwie replace Myspace as the popular hangout or will Myspacers stay right where they are?

Many of those working to build their network at Yuwie have invited their Myspace friends to join them at Yuwiw. Some join but then after getting signed up are not active at Yuwie, yet remain active on Myspace or other online communities. Why is this?

Asking a few Myspacers about this yielded some interesting responses.

One said "why do you ask? are YOU wanting to make money out of me ? I thought we were friends...."

Another said " At Yuwie, they are all buzzing around like bees swarming - thinking they will get rich quick - they have $ in their eyes"

One commented "I'm not on here to be paid to chat - I am here cos I wanna be and hope that my friends are too"

Another said "it sounds to much like work to me, all I want to do is hangout"

These were interesting comments to me as it seems they had a common negative view about social net working and being paid.

All of these people have at least 50 friends at Myspace. And yes, they could join and each invite their unique friends and do exactly what they are doing now - but they have no interest in doing so.

For example, if Myspacer A signs up twenty five people and they sign up a minimum of three people each and those people sign up three people, and on etc. he could have 1,476,225 on his referral tree and be at the 10th level making that often projected (and often repeated) $10,000 per month doing exactly what he is doing now, inviting friends, socializing and hanging out, provided that all the members he signs up are active. Sounds to me like someone could be missing out on a great opportunity, for something he is already doing for free.

But maybe this is like comparing cats and dogs. Both may be categorized as household pets - but both are totally different animals. I believe that MySpace and Yuwie are also totally different animals.

MySpacers will continue to frequent MySpace because it meets their needs.

Similarly, Yuwiers will continue to browse and click at Yuwie - this may also be because they have their eyes on a prize.

One would hope that the actual building of networks and establishing linkages and connections is recognised as an achievement- and any payments that might come along as part of the process would be a nice bonus.

Well I would hope that !
