As a user, I actually like Bebo from an aesthetics standpoint. I see it as sort of a middle-ground between the out-of-control look of MySpace and the dull/Gap/Apple/clone-like facade of Facebook. I actually want a bit of personality on an individual's social networking page. That being said, good luck to them on the whole monetization front. I just divvied up a fairly sizable online ad budget earlier today. Social networking's share of those advertising dollars? About 2.5% From an advertisers standpoint it's a great platform for PR and word-of-mouth marketing. But that doesn't equate to big $$$ revenue for them.
