I am amazed about bayt.com's new look and social streams. Guys! Do you think social initiatives can take over other social networking sites? Do you agree?

ya it will take over all other social network sites for sure :D

There seems to be a need to find new and innovative ways to interact with people.
Social media helps to put a face and an individual perspective on things.
Its nice a site like Bayt is introducing Social Media.
For a job hunting site, it is the next logical step

Hi, can you clarify your question?

Well yes its a good Idea, but if im a Bayt decision maker, I'll be worry of the public profile feature! With time, especially with non-stable economic situations, HR departments may get smarter, or lets say may try to reduce cost more, they will start hunting talents through those public profiles.
Here is a scenario: I'm searching for a web developer, I'll do the following:
1- start Google.com,
2- Search for site:http://people.bayt.com web developer.

3- I got 153000 results.

4- I'll view profiles, do a short list.

5- Now I'll open linkedin, search for the shortlisted people, I'll find 50% of them with public contact details, while I can add others to my network to contact them, or do it through inmail messages! They need to think of someway to hide some details!

Roba , I meant that non-social sites are coming over with social features to catch up with "Be-Social-Or-Die" competition...
In this case , i guess after Bayt added social streams and commenting, they acquired I guess a considerable number of news users.
