One interesting thing is people using it to propagate their spam. Guess it could easily be automated, or monitored and spammers kicked out. Very interesting, though.

I can't find a fault with it but... well, it just lacks that WOW factor!

Creating, managing and increasing the size and quality of the community is THE science which will differentiate each of the players in this market. Good technology will sell, and I hope these guys get a good price for their work but, [as they may have already found] building the back end does not guarantee that the user numbers will flow into the service. I would NEVER bid on a technology package unless I had the opportunity to complete a thorough technical due diligence. What if a major element of the code base was infringing others? What if the design could not scale? I think it is difficult to buy such a software system under such circumstances of an Ebay auction without protecting oneself. But I do acknowledge that at least some startups are being more pragmatic about the choices they have and using this method to complete a journey on their latest project. My view is to the guys behind MoJungle "Move on, start another one and keep pushing" The major aspect about mobile social networks is building them, not the technology deployed.

If I didn't have a job already, I'd be tempted to take this on. The work done on that side of things alone is worth a fair amount. As is It's not going in exactly the right direction for me though, and I'd want to tweak the direction.
