yeah, too many online social networking sites. its not going to be easy to shift people from orkut and facebook to apnacircle even if it has the sabeer bhatia name tag on it.
  unless and until mr Bhatia has something really different and innovative to offer, its gonna take more than his name and money to expand in here.
  but how about social networking via mobile? wouldn’t that be interesting?

Sorry if i sound irrelevant,

Here is the fine-print which you find on Yaari’s registration page (to me it proves that social networking sites are forced to use pathetic strategies to get even a toe-hold on Internet)

“By registering for Yaari and agreeing to the Terms of Use, you authorize Yaari to send an email notification to all the contacts listed in the address book of the email address you provide during registration. The email will notify your friends that you have registered for Yaari and will encourage them to register for the site. Yaari will never store your email password or login to your email account without your consent. If you do not want Yaari to send an email notification to your email contacts, do not register for Yaari.”

Somebody once asked in an IAMAI event in mumbai “Is social networking a means to an end or an end in itself?”.. profound question Mr. Bhatia :)

And as great Raghu always says “Common sense precedes creativity” :) :) :)
