    hello guys,
    I've been playing with Wordpress MU and Buddypress and I'm really impressed of what these two scripts are capable. Here's the result:
    http://freebytes.eu

    Ok so far so good, but as every new site the most important question is to answer: How to get visitors and how to market this kind of website, that is more like blogger and facebook at the same time.
    Could someone help with a few advices ?
    Thanks a lot
    P.S. if you're interested sign up :)

    Well, I would market it on existing social websites, like myspace, facebook, ect. Since those people are obviously into the latest and greatest social networking. Just buy some ad space and make a nice presentation, you should get a lot of members.

    Hm, I'm not sure that these websites will include my ads, because even if freebytes is a small and starting website, they still can think of it like a competition you know.

    you need to offer something very unique. Facebook and Myspace have the market in a strangle hold. I really like your site, its very functional.

    Nice site, I also have to go with press releases and maybe try to get mashable or another blog about social networking to do a writeup on it.
