Comment by Magic Happens on July 8, 2010 at 5:23pm: This website is for all social networks

Comment by Friends of Angela Lansbury - Bet on July 8, 2010 at 3:32pm: I hope so too, Fantasyland.

Comment by Magic Happens on July 8, 2010 at 2:44pm: l do not know what to say on this matter. l just hope there would be a good place for the limited income people to socialize on.

Comment by JenSocial on July 8, 2010 at 2:17pm: That's fine Tom. I understand your being cynical, 100%. But, I will say to you, you've known me for a while now via Internetland. And, I think you know my brutally (LOL) honest reputation. And, maybe I'm just being naive about this.

I spoke with Jay over the phone, and I believe this has really happened. I'm not suggesting they would not have made this decision for other reasons in the future. I have no idea. But, I do believe this is the reason for the recent changes.

And I definitely agree with the points you've made about white label, "here to stay", etc...

Thank you for your input as always,
;-)

Comment by Carny Town on July 8, 2010 at 1:38pm: Well, Jen. Forgive me for being cynical...but I am an old guy. And it looks very much like to my thinking that Spruz has seen the impracticability of their model and have decided to jump in with Ning and Socialgo in charging for anything worth having. My solution for my Charitable and Non-Profits is to switch them over to Wordpress 3.0 on my "unlimited" server account. A buddypress installation should take care of the rest. I get it. Social Networking is here to stay. Thats the message that they are sending me. White label networking is the way to go...but it isn't going to be all free, much longer. Oh, well, pretty much as I expected.

Comment by Friends of Angela Lansbury - Bet on July 8, 2010 at 12:47pm: You and me both, Jen. They are a good service.

Comment by JenSocial on July 8, 2010 at 12:02pm: I'm surprised you didn't. I call tell you from first-hand conversation, Spruz is not happy about this, most unfortunate event. And, I don't feel they deserve this. But, in order to maintain a sustainable platform, they've been backed up in a corner, and have no choice. I'm hoping that Google will do the right thing and enable their account.
Best,
Jen
