This small nugget just jumped out at me. After spending almost a billion dollars, you would think every waking moment would be spent leveraging all AOL has to give to make Bebo a huge success. This is nuts...

I have looked at Bebo before and I think it is full of teenager that just want to have fun & to be popular, e.g votelist with almost X - rated picture. Bebo is a huge succes in the United Kingdom but plays a minor role in other parts of the world.

AOL should have studied more before buying Bebo and planned for the the future what to do because it is not interesting for older people to join Bebo when they discover who is on this social network for teenagers.

Good point. thx.
