In social media terms, if there's no one else using this service, perhaps I shouldn't waste my time on it either. iTunes Ping and the Apple Game Center are prime examples. Jay Goldman explains some of the problems facing a social media start-up, even a start-up with big budget backing like Ping and Apple's Game Center.
