Social applications are where things are at, well to degree at least. And despite this, many would still suggest that when it comes to business models, the social application market is yet to demonstrate one that is tried and tested.

Now, whether this is the case is an argument for another day. As RockYou, the company behind many apps, notably a host of Facebook and OpenSocial efforts has just tipped its cap and filled it with £35 million in venture capital. This hefty cash injection (I doubt it is in actual cash) will be spent on additional tools and services, increasing the company’s already dominant position in the market.  It is even being speculated that the “current momentum” will see RockYou becoming a top 10 internet property in a relatively short amount of time.
