Bebo provides an open, engaging, and fun environment that empowers a new generation to discover, connect with family and friends and express themselves. But as from the end of this month sadly Bebo is closing down. There is to much heavy competetion, where skill defines success. Bebo unfortunatly has been declining recently and in result would require a great investment to beat the socail networking competition. Aol the current owners of Bebo are in so financial position to do this so and instead of selling Bebo on it is getting abandoned. A source close to Bebo said that bebo used to have around 40 million users a month and it recently fell down to 12 million and this is when they noticed Bebo was not as popular as early times. Not only has bebo been beat in the socail networking competition but Myspace is also falling down due to the leading social netoworking site which is Facebook. Facebook hold over 400 million users worldwide. Which tops any other social networking site. Unfortunatly no one looks to be buying Bebo so people will just have to switch over to facebook or other social networking sites.
I used to use bebo 24/7 there wasn't a day that went by that i wouldn't be on the site. It was a way to find out what people were up to and get intouch with family and friends. When i found out Bebo was closing down i was devestated. Sad i know. But when your used to something everday and that goes you will obviously miss it. So the first thing i did was take my pictures from it and stuff i needed. The only thing thats bugging me as on the Bebo there has been no warning that Bebo is closing down. Maybe when it comes nearer to the time they will let Bebo users know. So with Bebo going out the window i tried to start with facebook. I recently made one but gave up on it, it looked so confusing i didn't understand it at all. Unlike Bebo for me Facebook was harder to use. I soon got used to and now i'm never off the bloody site. I now have no time for Bebo. If my friends actually used Bebo then i might have some time for it, but all my friends have moved over to facebook and i dont blame them it is far better. Maybe Bebo should have took some ideas from Facebook and they wouldnt be in this situation. Bebo just took it to far adding loads of application and stupid games i think they were starting to get pretty desperate. Alot of people will be angry with the thought of Bebo being closed down but hey Facebooks there...

But why has Facebook succeeded where BEBO has failed? are there better means of interaction?
ReplyDeleteyou are right to say adding lots of apps and games after the event is clumsy and embarassing.
It demonstrates how transient this lucrative market can be. Perhaps you should be working on the networking device that will replace Facebook....
