Ning was able to do it, so I think that it’s doable. They will see adoption lag (maybe deadly lag) unless they do this. It’s all about sharing these days. Mommy and Daddy blogs want to sharing this content. They don’t want to send people off their pages. Here’s a good example of videos on the site At this point, there is no advertising. This is good, because who likes ads. It’s bad because without ads they’ll never be able to pay the bills and this will float away. I just hope they don’t ruin everything and throw up Google Ads.socialmedia ยป A-Z of social media
