Web 3.0 launches in 10 minutes.
Web 2.0 isn't all that. Hello?. I don't think there's a rising tide lifting all boats here. I don't think Web 2.0 is the magic bullet some people seem to think it is either. It ain't the features, it's that AND the business. Tagging was a great feature, no doubt. But Flickr was at break even -- about to tip into the black -- when we were acquired.
Man, them webkids grow up so fast nowadays. Here you have one of the early beneficiaries of the Web 2.0 hype already saying that the 2.0 webblet is over and that these kids today don't know nuthin' bout starting a bidness. While I am certainly skeptical as regards Web 2.0 and its marketroids (remember, kids, a marketer -- cluetrain or no -- is just a liar with a degree,) it's interesting to have someone from what was once a scrappy lil' startup (where is Game Neverending? Pyra? Bueller? Bueller?) suddenly acting like a, ahem, BigCo. Or maybe the overproductivity of the careerist Web is even more endemic than I initially thought. And what is that whole "it's so hard to find good help" spiel in there?
