Social networking is all the rage these days and one of the latest and greatest sites on the national scene is myYearbook.com, which is sort of a combination of the viral widgets of Facebook and style and features of Myspace. The network already has over five million members and is growing rapidly.
On their “Our Story” page, they claim the site was created by a couple high school kids, which I find hard to believe, considering the venture capital funding and national advertising contracts the site had already attained at its inception.No, this was a website created by corporate America with the sole purpose of APPEARING to be a hip site created by and for kids. Their claims are about as believable as boy bands writing their own songs.
Despite this, they are situated nicely to become the new cool hangout now that even parents and grandparents are hanging out on Myspace by the tens of thousands. After all, once everyone knows about a site like Myspace, it’s no longer cool, so the in-crowd has to find somewhere else to hang out. Whether or not myYearbook is that new destination has yet to be determined.
