Comments on: Web 2.0 Expo – Conversation With Spark Networks President, Gregory Liberman http://www.centernetworks.com/spark-networks-jdate-gregory-liberman Web 2 and Social Media News and Reviews Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:50:56 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Mark http://www.centernetworks.com/spark-networks-jdate-gregory-liberman/comment-page-#comment-19772 Mark Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-19772 Allen, Few comments: 1. I would not consider spark a web2.0. They dont have features that exist in many web2.0 site, they apply a web1.0 biz model and they product itself looks very web1.0 2. Spark is 'plant' company. Take a look at their quarterly reports from 1,2,3 years ago. They have the same revenues, and the only thing they do is cut expenses (layoff people, decrease marketing spend on AmericanSingles) in order to prove the bottom line. So, I am not impressed at all. This company has clearly failed in catching up with the changing environment. Allen,
