There seems to be a slew of networking sites that are just pouring down from everywhere. This could work as a great DB of contacts elliminating the need to invest in a separate CRM infrastructure... If they were to expose the interface, one could imagine a slew of add-ons that add more value to this honking network and grow up to become a full-fledged CRM system... Whether they'll choose that route or take on all that by themselves remains to be seen... The hardest thing is, of course, the fact that they'll first have to succeed in actually getting enough people in their database. This may prove to be difficult depending on how comfortable people are in sharing contacts with random others. Worth checking it out, tho... |
