Tout ceci est-il bien sérieux ? Surtout depuis le lancement d’OpenSocial (le framework de Google qui permet d’uniformiser les applications reposant sur des réseaux sociaux).

I can hardly understand right away what tools we could use but it could be done, I think - an interesting survey it could have been. But the problem is that Profy's audience is a bit more professional for that since Profy is usually read by people that actually work in the web industry - thus they often are on many (if not all) social networks because they need them all for business. For example, I have accounts with at least 30 various social networks and I only use 5 of them, I think. And this is pretty true for many of our readers. I believe that such a survey could better be performed by Mashable - this is the blog that is aimed at social networkers, not the professionals working in the field. Besides, they have their own network they could use for the survey. Dave, it’s an interesting idea, really and I’m sure such data would be very useful to many bloggers/professionals.

Another thing I was wondering about is what percentage of Hi5 users are actively logging in daily. In my post about <a href="http://www.profy.com/2007/10/05/is-facebook-working-on-an-itunes-competitor/" rel="nofollow">Facebook's potential music store</a>, I mentioned Techcrunch's statement that 50% of Facebook users login daily, which I am sure helps account for the massive growth of the Facebook Platform. That’s a good idea.

perhaps profy could run a survey of some kind to “guesstimate” how many duplicate users there are - meaning how many exist on one or more of the networks - with one or more profiles - is this something you’d consider doing?
