With MySpace being a successful proven social network and many other niche networks sprouting up everywhere, who would have ever thought that Reuters would jump on board? Reuters is planning on launching their own social network this year that will be aimed at fund managers, traders, and analysts. The Reuters social network will be exclusive to subscribers of Reuters, of which they hope to enlist 70,000 members from their messaging service.
What's the goal of the Reuters network? Have Reuters financial services users post research or trading models. What do you think, have social networks gone too far? Or are they fitting in quite nicely with societies little niches?
