There're ~5M blogs on WordPress.com, and growing. So, adding a social network functionality will kick Ning's, Nexo's and others ass.

I have to agree that time is a huge factor but dont you think that social trends is also quite a large contributer... People change very quickly, especially on the internet... I remember when blogging was the big thing, then forums came to the fore... then, with the advent of youtube and similar sites video quickly became a big player... now its social sites...

Interesting view. As a site owner, I am also trying to figure this out and look toward the future. I appreciate articles like yours.

Social Networking, for adults. Free chat rooms. Photo and Video upload

There is a lot to be said for using blogs as the centrepiece of a social network, but it's also arguable that this should be done from the outset rather than adding social features on as an afterthought. You're also right, I think, that the markets that would use a blog and would install a social network are different.

The time issue is important, and you're right: people aren't going to take the time to register for a hundred different social networks. They might be interested in more than they currently use if:

1. they can interact with them using their current profiles
2. finding networks with niche content they're interested in is as easy as finding groups on the single social networks they're used to

We're edging closer to that idea of a single, decentralized social web - or, we should be. (The arguments Tim O'Reilly made recently about cloud computing and open source also apply to social networks.) We've made it a central focus of Elgg, and intend to do our part to change the landscape.
