The Bubble .. again ?
I really don’t get it. Everyday I read about at least one or two new web based services that get funded by venture capitalists.
Almost everytime, I check out the site and try to figure out the business model and needless to say that I rarely find out what it might be …
I really get a feeling of being back in the year 2000 when the first “internet bubble” exploded, except that the requirements today are :
- Have a really cool design with a nice logo
- Have a cool name (whatever.ici.ous
) - Have AJAX all over the place and demonstrate amazing DHTML and javascript usage ..
- Finally (this one is optional), provide a web based service of some sort and have the words Web 2.0, Social, RSS somewhere on your home page
Personnally I don’t really think all of this is bad, but I am just always amazed on how much money can be put in all these “startups”. Well at least it keeps imagination going.
