Helping businesses cut through their own hype
July 17th, 2006
Check out this post written in the Dead 2.0 blog. While BuzzShout helps the consumer cut through the hype to find the best websites and applications for you, the Dead 2.0 post aims to help new “Web 2.0″ companies avoid believing their own hype. Some of their best advice:
- Don’t count on your social networking feature to carry the weight of your entire business.
- Find friends who don’t drink the cool-aid and get some genuine feedback. (Then you and your friends login to BuzzShout and share your feedback with all of us).
- Don’t affiliate yourself with Web 2.0 because the term will eventually die a horrific death 2.0. (Did you ever listen to Vanilla Ice or Milli Vanilli? Of course you didn’t…)
I hope whoever is behind Dead 2.0 is also using BuzzShout to help all of us cut through the hype. As we all know, the worst thing about all the emerging websites is finding the ones that are really the most useful/interesting/relevant/etc.
