    Hyves.net - Social Networking In Europe

    hyves

    Focused on Italy, France, Germany, the UK, and Spain, Hyves is a popular social networking site in Europe. Available in at least six languages, it offers all the usual amenities of a social networking site, including profiles, blogs, photos, videos, groups and messaging. There is nothing new or innovative about this site, but that doesn"t seem to matter in this universe. People love these sites all over the world, so it will take a truly independent and bored user to push the boundaries and functions of these Myspace-esque sites. To its credit, the site is looking for more employees and claims their desire to expand the services of the site is outpaced by their ability to staff the site. Also to its credit, I was not bombarded by ads when opening the site. Finally, proving their popularity I suppose, they recently had a successful Hyve party, allowing the virtual community to meet in real life at a hip club with a hip DJ.

    In their own words

    Hyves.net - Always in touch with your friends.

    Why it might be a killer

    Hyves seems to be one of the top social networking sites in Europe.

    Some questions


    Are they going to try to innovate the social networking genre with their growing momentum and popularity? What are the demographics of the users? Where are the ads and sponsorships -- since they are seeking more employees they are obviously making a profit -- how? Are they going to expand into other European countries?
