Build Your Own Social Network, The Buzz Du Jour

I made a post re the build-your-own-social-network platform Ning below, so this is just a small follow up because I couldn't resist passing along TechCrunch's quote of the NYTimes quoting Ning's founder, Marc Andreesen regarding Cisco's buyout of social network-building company Tribe.

Andreesen said, "The idea that Cisco is going to be a force in social networking is about as plausible as Ning being a force in optical switches."

Be careful out there... ;)
