Jeśli nie lubisz w serwisach web2.0 przede wszystkim tego, że schlebiają najniższym gustom a wartościowe treści nie są nadal odkrywane… Mam dla Ciebie dobrą i złą wiadomość. Którą pierwszą podać i dlaczego złą?

Powstanie kolejn…

- Rumors? … hmmm (cough: Who cares!)

Therein lies the difference between Bloggers and Journalists. At least Journalists try to have ethics…

Of course, (based on private discussion with guy) the intent is not exactly being reflected in the outcome. BUt then that too, is a symptom of the new information age. Where people mistake information for knowledge, parroting of content for editorializing, and so on…

Is this what we want to spend time with, voting for rumors we hope or know are true?

And people make fun of blogging and Twitter?

Well I must admit, one point I and the others missed out was “democratization of information” that you mentioned in your reply. In that sense you can say Truemors is a step in the right direction if analyzed closely.

But “what kind of information to be democratized” is the main question. This “information” should be of great value to the user. Only then it would enrich the users’ lives.

The concept of you website is great, especially the offline methods of entering information - phone, voicemail…

But frankly speaking, the word “rumor” should not have been associated with this, since it gives a negative vibe instead of a loud buzz ;-). The whole innovative idea behind this goes down with the word rumor.

I see this as another step in the democratization of information: rich/royalty with scribes–printing press–desktop publishing–web sites–blogs–anyone can post to a site.

At a minimum, it means that someone who only has sporadic tidbits, doesn’t want to/can’t afford to start a blog/web site to put out information can just use Truemors.

And they can post in 4 ways: voicemail, SMS, email, and online. It can’t get much more democratic than this although, as we’ve seen, with democracy the signal to noise ratio can change.

By the way, do you think Twitter has changed the world? Or IM? Because I do.

Guy

I didn’t get Twitter when I first saw it, but now, I’m on it, twittering away. I think its foolish to assume any idea as bad when it comes to web business. You never know what’s going to stick.

We will find all WebCharlatans!

Your blog’s name is “How to change the world”. In all your blog posts, presentations, books the central theme is “How to change the world” with your start up. That is, innovative products and services that enrich people’s life.

Can you please explain how this true rumor website plan to this? Change the world?

Continue talking about how to run a successful startup when you never had one. Some guys are better at hype than substance…

this is deadpool fodder.

to the user asking about wordpress, that was a smart move.
