Web 2.0 Deathlist
Post Info Saturday, January 6th, 2007 1:47 am by jdmacor Print Print this page

I found this post over at Wisdump, talking about which Web 2.0 companies should be killed off. Well that is a tall task, I must say. Especially, since it seems that the standard is that I can only pick 3… But I will give it a whirl.

Now, most people responded with Myspace on their list. In fact, my favorite comment about it was:

1. Myspace : I still think every time someone uses it somewhere a designer dies.

Ah, that is so true, but since we seem to all agree about that one, I will just leave it off of my list. It is kind of ironic though, that we all hate it, but we most likely use it… Either way, let me get this “weekend exercise” hammered out here.

    1. Bloglines : Well, I really just don’t like the way it works. I remember not being able to understand the subscribing system (though, I am awfully slow…) and on top of that, I think it is just ugly.
    2. Rollyo: While I love the design, I think I hate this one because of its name. It seems to be pretty popular, but I just don’t find it that useful.
    3. Youtube: Ok, this one gets an ug-o award as well. In fact, it sort of resembles Bloglines, if you squint at the screen a little. Plus it is just way too hyped up.

Feel free to write your own Deathlist, either on your blog or as a comment here. I would like to know about it either way.

    Newsnow charges Web sites for packaging and forwarding headlines from content-producing Web sites. TDL Infospace makes its money on the back of directory, Yellow Page-type directory services (increasingly popular with corporate intranets, apparently), while iSyndicate also takes click-through revenues from content producers.

    And how is moreover.com to make money? “The company intends to get its income from advertising, so it can make its product available for free,” e-league informs us. Fair play. But as an infrastructure software provider for other Web sites, it should surely be thinking about charging for its services.
