Totally agree that users could post stories to forums and social network sites, but I'd argue that a tailored site is more conducive.<br><br>This issue for me with social networks is structural: the visibility of the story is limited by the event horizon of the network, and some of my favorite stories on Tokoni were from users who were well outside my friend-of-a-friend network. That said, we think social networks will be part of the solution, and we currently have a beta Facebook application that we've been testing.<br><br>With forums, I think there are benefits with both our product and community. On the product front, I'd hope the functionality we have on Tokoni (images, video, connections, collections, fans, etc.) is more compelling than a traditional user forum. And from a community perspective, I suppose it depends on whether a particular user forum is welcoming of the content. At Tokoni, you know people are listening.<br><br>Alex Kazim<br>CEO, TokoniAlex KazimMon, 06 Oct 2008 14:39:25 -0000
