- angusm, on 07/15/2009, -0/+24"What Web 1.0 can teach Web 2.0":
1. Sooner or later, you're going to end up selling all those nice chairs.
2. Technology plus a business model beats just technology.
3. The VCs expect to get their money back.
4. If the VCs think they aren't going to get their money back, they will oust you and sell your company for pennies on the dollar.
5. If you want to be involved in Web 3.0, cash out now before the bubble bursts.
6. If you don't have an MBA on board, you're going to make elementary business mistakes and be bankrupt within a year.
7. If you do have an MBA on board, you're going to make complicated business mistakes and be bankrupt within 6 months.
8. No matter how many all-nighters you pull, every line of code you write will be worthless within a year and won't even compile after two.
9. A trendy technology startup can waste other people's money faster than any other human invention except the US military.
10. 'flicker' has an 'e' in it, dammit! - ohplease, on 07/15/2009, -2/+20Calling Genie, Delphi and AOL "Online 1.0" is ***** stupid and so is this article.Is it me or has Computerworld been pumping out some pretty retarded ***** for the last year?
- ontain, on 07/15/2009, -0/+17I think MySpace will be joining those ghosts.
- sockpuppets, on 07/15/2009, -2/+16Yeah, ebay, amazon, google, yahoo.. all bad company names.
- borez, on 07/15/2009, -0/+11From the free AOL CD's, it's on the other side.
- MylesGrey, on 07/15/2009, -0/+11Oh yeah, it burst because they named their companies after their domain names. ::)
- jrm125, on 07/15/2009, -0/+8Real lesson learned: Don't send out truckloads of crappy installer CDs and hope people use your service.
- dagamer34, on 07/15/2009, -0/+8I think he meant companies that have ".com" in the company name, not owning a domain name that has your company name in it.
- creamy, on 07/15/2009, -4/+11What Web2.0 can teach computerworld.com is to not try to write complete books worth of text and expect people to actually read it.
- MylesGrey, on 07/15/2009, -1/+8Since when has it not worked out?
- boozedrinker, on 07/15/2009, -0/+6Web 1.0 can teach click-happy sites to KEEP ***** ON ONE ***** PAGE. KTHXBYE
- Alabaster1234, on 07/15/2009, -0/+4You mean the imaginary Web 2.0? I hate when remarkably stupid people (aka, marketing folks) don't understand what version numbers actually mean and apply them to things that don't make any sense.
- inactive, on 07/15/2009, -0/+4I find it hard to make any comparison whatsoever. The author is comparing apples to steam engines (clearly not a technologist) and misleading to the reader. The services mentioned in the article were the only on-ramps to the internet available to consumers at the time.
now that internet is a series of tubes like gas and water, we don't need them anymore. These companies may have had some content portals within them to get more customers and run up hourly/data usage, they were all PAID services, not free social networking sites that are at the whim of their users. - borez, on 07/15/2009, -0/+4There's a second internet?
- chadsmith729, on 07/15/2009, -3/+7What can Web 1.0 teach Web 2.0? Don't name your company after your domain name. It just doesn't seem to work out.
- megaton, on 07/15/2009, -2/+5Yeah! ***** reading!
- glubbdrubb, on 07/15/2009, -0/+3http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/print/91352 ...
Link to single page version - creamy, on 07/15/2009, -0/+3Too be more accurate: I'm not against reading. ;) I'm against expecting people to read eight pages full of text from a screen. It's just not the same as a newspaper or a book.
- UselessTrivia, on 07/15/2009, -0/+3Yes there is, actually, but Internet 2 is different than Web 2.0.
Internet2 is mostly educational, government and research coprorations. They use it as a dedicated link for high-bandwidth research things, as well as a testbed for new network technologies. - UselessTrivia, on 07/15/2009, -0/+3I miss always having a coaster handy, though.
- creamy, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2* (Too be accurate = To be accurate)
Don't just break it up. Be comprehesive and short. This story could've been told in 32 words. - anexanhume, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2I actually just awarded you an internet. Check your account.
- LLLSecretChimp, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2I like how social networking is turning the world wide web back into Usenet.
- N01SE, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2nothing lasts forever.
- anodos, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2Wow, dude, excite.com had completely exited my mind until just this very moment. What a weird feeling to know it is still around. How is it still there? What's keeping the thing alive?
- amitait, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2PRINT VERSION!!
http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/print/91352 ... - Hellahulla, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2*whoosh*
- 4NDr01D, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2an HTML list with no ad's
is better than 10 pages of crappy click thru's - megaton, on 07/15/2009, -1/+2Agreed. Becoming a multi-millionaire for creating the largest (albeit lame) ISP sure must suck.
- InfectedTuna, on 07/15/2009, -2/+3Brisket ..... you are retarded. I really mean that.
- dagamer34, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1Web 1.0 to Web 2.0: "Charge more for upgrades"
- linas199, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1Say wat? Not sure about the others, but Excite.com is still the best! They have free email and video (I know!). Use it daily since 1997, the old lovely design hasn't changed a bit and that's all the inter-nets I need. Besides, I love historic places.
- falafelkiosken, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1you mean the floppy?
- Pandalume, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1If they broke it up you guys would complain about too many clicks.
- Presbyterian, on 07/15/2009, -3/+4um, no, he was first.
- gamepr0, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1yay someone else who realises the difference between web and internet
- solarwind24, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1it's not you, they fail
- 4AntiStupid, on 07/15/2009, -0/+0AOL etc where killed by broadband carriers and not interactive websites.
- chiefalchemist, on 07/16/2009, -0/+0Is it just me or is Facebook the new AOL? An island not realizing it's surrounded by ocean. As for the rest, it's just good ol' fashion progress.
- MylesGrey, on 07/15/2009, -2/+2Too right, I couldn't be bothered to read it, lol. How did this get popularised?
- shinkou, on 07/16/2009, -1/+1Buried for version number abuse.
- InfectedTuna, on 07/15/2009, -3/+3You fail to for defending a "first" comment. You are being buried ...... now.
- splintersag, on 07/15/2009, -0/+0Oh, I see what you're getting at.
You're saying that they shouldn't have names such as Pets.com, Boo.com, Kozmo.com, etc., right? - FearlessFreep, on 07/15/2009, -4/+3IIRC - AOL, Delphi, etc...were not Web 1.0, more like Web 0.5 or Web Beta or something
- chadsmith729, on 07/15/2009, -5/+3How old are you guys? Am I the only one who remembers the dot com bubble of failure? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot-com_bubble
Another one to see the companies at which I was referring to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot-com_company - gamepr0, on 07/15/2009, -4/+1web != internet
- InfectedTuna, on 07/15/2009, -7/+3fail
- brisketplease, on 07/15/2009, -5/+1NO! don't make fun of me! i'm just trying to fit in and proclaim my excellence. you enjoy making people feel bad and that's lame-o to the max.
