AFI BLOG: Media and Technology

A couple of sites are trying to combine selling and social networking. We’ve posted the coverage of Fanista, a media-oriented social commerce site launched by former CAA agent and Disney exec Dan Adler (here). Now we see that Mark Cuban is getting in the act with Radical Buy, blogged about here.

Is this a trend, and does it matter when the eyeballs are going to the incumbant socialnetworks, eg MySpace and esp. Facebook? Can they just bolt on buying? Or is this the next new thing that will take over the world?
