Web 2.0 - The new generation
September 4th, 2006
We came across a great video discussing Web 2.0 and the hype that’s going on with all the new technologies like AJAX and Flux. One of our favorite blogs, Techcrunch sat down with a number of startup CEOs and executives to video their feedback about this new “bubble” that’s growing rapidly. Participating in the discussion were Aaron Cohen (Bolt), Scott Milener and Steven Lurie (Browster), Keith Teare (edgeio), Steven Marder (Eurekster), Joe Kraus (JotSpot), Jeremy Verba (Piczo), Auren Hoffman (Rapleaf), Chris Alden (Rojo), Gautam Godhwani (Simply Hired), Jonathan Abrams (Socializr), David Sifry (Technorati), Matt Sanchez (Video Egg) and Michael Tanne (Wink).
We like the metaphor Aaron Cohen from Bolt.com gave, all of these new web 2.0 startups such as YouTube, Myspace, Technorati, Flickr, are like the Republic in the Star Wars movie. They are all working together to take the advertising money away from TV Media which he compared to the Empire. More and more startups are expanding the web 2.0 sphere and taking away the spotlight of primetime TV. Where will the web 2.0 take us? We shall see, lets just hope that Tom Anderson does not become the Darth Vader and start charging for MySpace!
