WALLOP LAUNCHED... YEAH, I'M GOOD

Here's a bit of ego rubbing... rub, rub... rub, rub.  In my AlwaysOn column back in February 2005, I expressed how I thought Wallop should have been publicly launched to compete with MySpace and Friendster during the initial rush in 2004.  I wish Microsoft would have taken my advice sooner since it's a little late in the game, but Wallop has finally launched as a separate entity with Karl Jacob at its helm.  He's a serial entrepreneur who has built successful companies, so it will be interesting to see how Wallop grows and develops in the consumer social software space.
