			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;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&#8217;ll realize the error of their ways, if they haven&#8217;t already.  Of course, I don&#8217;t wish them too well [in the courts] because they&#8217;ve yet to drop their case, technically&#8230;</p>
<p>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 <a href="http://gigaom.com/2007/01/05/another-wallop-exec-leaves/" target="_blank">saw its third executive leave</a> in one week.  That can&#8217;t be good for business.</p>
<p>As I had written last year, I had spoken to MSFT about Wallop before it was hatched into <a href="http://glinden.blogspot.com/2006/09/not-walloped-by-wallop.html" target="_blank">what it is now</a>, and got, well, no respect.  Read more of that <a href="http://www.watchmojo.com/web/blog/?p=116" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>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.</p>
