Quite agree on the overhype point. The mad, real mad rush towards something like social networking is almost laughable- sites are being launched without any analysis of cultural and behavioural aspects- I don't think there is a one-size-fits-all solution here.
Yes Rajesh, Sites these days are tailored for international users. Some websites are really funny without any depth. People want to make quick money :-)
