Web 2.0 is all about social networking in different forms. All of the recent mega deals involve Social Space be it the Google MySpace Advertisement deal or Google buying YouTube.
However, in the Indian valley where the entire country has mere 1.7 Million broadband connections, localized social networks have come up. MingleBox is one such company located in Bangalore, India. MingleBox seems to be localized and targeting the Indian teens and college community much like FaceBook. goBroadband has a coverage of MingleBox which is also planning to launch MingleMobile.
