Minglebox.com - MySpace for College Kids in India

Minglebox is a relatively new but popular social networking site for college kids in India. Functioning similar to MySpace and Facebook, students create individual web pages where they can write about themselves, post their favorite music, photos, etc. While it is limited to college communities right now, the site intends to expand into work communities as well. They are already the fastest-growing social networking site in India, and are poised to experience rapid growth. The site is well designed and easy to use, although not nearly as sophisticated or multi-faceted as MySpace.

"minglebox.com is India"s fastest growing community site. Whether its colleges, workplaces or other communities, minglebox has captured the imagination of young people across India. While thousands of such internet buffs are involved in shaping minglebox, behind the scenes is a young team passionate about building a place where people will love to hang out. Our complementary skills in business, technology, media and design help. Between weekly releases, endless arguments over UI and ideas bursting from every desk, our little space on Airport road, Bangalore is always buzzing. For more information, drop us an email and we"ll connect."

The management team is young and they admit that many features are still a work-in-progress. Are they ready to handle the potentially explosive growth on the site, with the attendant issues likely to surface (such as those MySpace has had to handle regarding privacy, crime, sexual predators, underage use, etc)? Also, the interface is good, but not even close to the MySpace standards....are they working to improve the sophistication of the site?
