Studivz: German Facebook clone may be acquired by Facebook
Friday, November 17th, 2006
You may not have heard about it, but the German social networking site Studivz.com is making big news, mostly in that it may be acquired by Facebook. What makes it interesting is that Studivz is basically a exact clone of Facebook. The only difference is that it is red and in German.
An interesting business model: Copy an successful business in a different market, then position yourself to be acquired when the original business wants to move into your market.
