It’s a strange thing to see the return of a defunct online property. Sites like Myspace, and now Bebo crop up like the ghosts of social media past. But Bebo’s return isn’t just on some early 2000’s nostalgia list — it’s got apps and everything.

According to Bebo’s current front page, 648,000 users have signed up to get new accounts; a tiny number in social media terms. It’s obvious Bebo won’t instantly become a Facebook killer, nor is its staff planning any such feat.
