Very interesting interview - validates what I believed was the death of Friendster - poor execution on site performance. You can be first to market, but if you can't keep up with demand, someone else will lap you.
Quoted: we had millions of Friendster members begging us to get the site working faster so they could log in and spend hours social networking with their friends. I remember coming in to the office for months reading thousands of customer service emails telling us that if we didn’t get our site working better soon, they’d be ‘forced to join’ a new social networking site that had just launched called MySpace…the rest is history.

This July 13, 2006 blog post is quite positive about Blue Dot, but he does not feel that we meet the bar as a social networking site. This is similar to feedback Chris (X) has given me too.
I think our next round of features will greatly enhance the abilitity of users to interact with each other, and change the perception that we are not a good social networking tool.
Quoted: But the claims of Bluedot which state them as a Social Networking site fall well short in my evaluation. I like everything about Bluedot but consider it strictly as a bookmarking service.
