"Claiming itself to be a next-generation publisher, WEbook has successfully roped in venture capitalists to invest in their business," Deepak Thakur, senior research analyst in ICT Practice at Frost & Sullivan, told the E-Commerce Times. If the dot-com burst and the more recent Wall Street fiasco have taught us anything, it is that investor confidence is not necessarily a harbinger of success.

Competition is actually good thing that validates this new industry; and webook has real competitors, check out StoryMash.com, I've been publishing there for almost 6 months, and on webook for a few weeks, but my first love is StoryMash, it's like the open version of webook, and StoryMash pays more.
