Interactive is such a loser. They banned a lot of account in youtube. Mr. Dennis Lim you're such a loser! Goodluck to ABS CBN… Stupid move! I think ABS CBN should make their own website number 1.

They should have gone with MySpace (for the American-Pinoys), Facebook and Facebook apps, Twitter, and Plurk. Why invest in a site that has hit a plateau, so they spent $5M investing on a site that isn't ever going to give them the ROI they're looking for. Slightly OT: $100M in valuation? Seriously now... I really wonder who values these sites. Multiply is probably worth $50M tops. They don't even that large of a hold on the US and UK markets (the markets that will give you an actual cash turnover). Could you imagine trying to make a turnover off the Philippine market? More links to social network market share: http://blogs.zdnet.com/social/?p=114 http://www.swivel.com/data_columns/spreadsheet/3461546?order_by_direction=DESC Multiply isn't even in the top 20.

Multiply as now is doing well as of the moment but just like the friendster that boom on the early 2000 and now slowly declining due the new social networking sites such as facebook. http://www.wordtext.com.ph/uploads/wsifiles/Corel_Product_Catalogue_Ebook.pdf http://corel-lifestyle.blogspot.com/ I think for now ABS-CBN will benefit on the current trend on the web but I on the long run it will not be a good for the business, since the birth of DIY social networking is now slowly picking up.
