Clarification of Question by sshah911-ga on 04 Jun 2004 16:10 PDT

I'm sorry, I wasn't very clear in my description of the question.   I
am most concerned about the top 10 to 15 social networking sites. 
Therefore, the questions 3-8 only pertain to the top 10 to 15 social
networking sites.  Furthermore, each of the sites I have listed do not
need to be included in the research.  They were listed just to assist
you in your research process.

3. Profitable or Not (if available)
4. Backed by funding (if available, what VC)
5. Target Market
6. Number of users
7. Main Features
8. Rate the Social Networking Sites on a scale of 1-10

SShah911 --

10 items each on 37 companies.  My guess is that's about 18+ hours for
someone who's excellent at business research.
