Do users want yet another social networking site & if not are they going to leave F/Book, MySpace, Linkedin for Moli? Maybe, but it will take a long time. And during this time, the other sites may adopt the key Moli concept of one account & multiple profiles each with different levels of user determined privacy. In this way, Moli is a one trick pony & could be easily knocked out if the big sites go this way. Oh and whoever decided on the title Moli? (Means MOney & LIfe) Do they seriously see people going around saying 'I'm a member of Molly?' How lame can you sound? Sounds more like your grandmother's sewing class. Not exactly young & cool. And for a straight man to announce something like this, well I dunno. Seriously, I think they may have made a big marketing mistake here.
