RockYou on Businessweek

Businessweek just came out with a report on the MySpace Ecosystem, and RockYou got several mentions in the article. RockYou, Snapvine, Photobucket and Slide got cited as leaders in the space, with specific reference to our partnership with Bebo.

Anastasia (the author of the article), not sure that I agree that widgets are "parasitic in nature". Parasites don't give back to their hosts. Widgets increase user engagement and functionality for a social networking site. The more breadth of widgets, the more a user can do on MySpace for example. That aside, a nice primer article for those who haven't a clue what the heck a 'widget' is.
