Indeed, since the November 2007 launch, membership has grown to more than half a million, with several thousand more joining daily. Meanwhile, revenues in the second half of 2008 were double those in the first half; the employee count has topped 100; and the site recently added home décor and will launch this year...

Analysts in Seoul wondered whether that was deliberate - a signal that Washington not only still wanted to talk, but that it might be flexible about how the North can stand down its weapons program. Because at some point, new talks, despite the launch, are almost inevitable.
