Viacom, which was rumored to havebought Tag World announced its own social network, FLUX, which is essentially Tag World. It turns out they partnered up with Tagworld and invested in them, instead of outright buying them. I could say so much - instead we are letting the photo do the talking. Viacom’s octogenarian owner Sumner Redstone meets Entourage’s Adrian Grenier.

What the flux! The theory is pretty good, a network of social networking sites, knitted together with a central login (I think!), it;s just the backing that is suspicious - we’re going to start needing a social network to remind us which social networks we joined and tattoos on our arms to remind us ‘why’.
Good fluxing luck to them.

Can anyone explain why FLUX and/or TagWorld has frozen up so that no new members can join or be invited to join. FLUX and it’s management team is really losing face on this handling of a site that is special special to so many people.
Wouldn’t it seem businesslike and appropriate for some “yahoo” (excuse the term) at FLUX to issue a statement to existing TagWorld members letting them know what is in the works for the future of TagWorld. Gee — it might take five minutes to do !!
TagWorld had a very special niche in that market — but of course no advertising revenue. Existing members of TagWorld would accept some type of adv program, and maybe even help promote it.
HELP !! Anyone?
