On, the other hand, MingleBox gets it's own advertisement and tries to target users who are already over Orkut. But in my opinion, I dont need 2 websites (i already have an account over all of these SNS, but dont use more than 2 ;-))...to just do Social networking.. Do you?? Moreover I dont think that MingleBox has the competency to release their own APIs so as to support App building, since it's a cool concept they tried it other way round :-D... see, in my opinion Orkut is making MingleBox users (who most probably have an Orkut account too..) to cling to their site (and not MingleBox) for a larger time period.

And I am not sure if there is any disadvantage for MingleBox in building these apps. Orkut has no reason to disallow their apps.

But comparing Minglebox with MySpace wont be the correct thing to do...i understand the analogy (one social n/w website building apps for another one)...but if people do start using their apps on orkut and if it becomes popular..they have nothing to loose. Talking about monetary benefits, I dont see any.... Hi Pranav,

Isn't it? Then Orkut will earn via adsense. Hi Pranav,
