Lies and Web 2.0

SFGate.com posted a list of the top 10 lies of Web 2.0 which geeky types in particular will find amusing (well, I did).

My two favourites:

  1. This is not a bubble. Hot parties, overheated PR pitches, and five or six dozen social networking sites are just healthy indicators of a new boom.
  2. We’re different from all those other sites. But we have a silly name, open APIs, some flashy Ajax technology, and other features just like the rest of them.

What’s your favourite?

    I like this one:

    A few years ago the holy grail was to get acquired by Microsoft of Cisco, but now the target’s Google.
