I’m really not the type to smile when others suffer setbacks, seriously.  I wish everyone well, even my erstwhile colleagues who sued me (and embarassed themselves, mind you) last year.  One day, they’ll realize the error of their ways, if they haven’t already.  Of course, I don’t wish them too well [in the courts] because they’ve yet to drop their case, technically…

Anyway, onto things and people that matter (actually, not sure this does either), today I see that Wallop, the social network that was spun out of Microsoft saw its third executive leave in one week.  That can’t be good for business.

As I had written last year, I had spoken to MSFT about Wallop before it was hatched into what it is now, and got, well, no respect.  Read more of that here.

Regardless, hopefully they can turn the tide and do something useful, 2007 is poised to be the year where social networks start to gain traction on the revenue front, though I am not sure what Wallop actually is and how it is positioning itself vis-a-vis the eighteen hundred other social networking sites.
