Soft landing?

That may be hard…Google is PMSing…

Did you see the 30% drop for answers.com

Who is next? When Google speaks everyone listens…and Wall St. Votes.

Why do such sleezy companies get so much money?

I’ve had friends who’ve signed up for tagged – only that the only real thing they signed up for was a crapload of spam and unsolicited mail.

Here’s hoping for a soft landing. I was an independent contractor for StudyWeb during web 1.0. As I remember it, the entire department was laid off in a single day – except for a very select few higher ups. Don’t want to see that sort of thing again.

Tagged is terrible.

Aside from that, I don’t believe that total number of registered users is a reliable indicator of value. Many people belong to one or more of these sites. I’m on Facebook, Bebo, MySpace and linkedin. MySpace and LinkedIn hardly see me while Bebo sees me the most and FaceBook is inbetween. As Tagged is a spam networking site, it would be very interesting to see what their registered visitor usage stats are like.

An example, if you got too excited and claim your startup will hit millions. Top VCs will give you money to believe your words. They send you checks.

Let say you start company called “joost.com” and you deliever PR news to media. Joost is going to be hype everywhere mouth to mouth. You secrety took VC money to buy house without letting VC know about.

Today, When you look at joost’s hype on data alexa. It’s beginning to drop. Do you why it dropped?

You’ve taking too much money out. It’s like you are not building golden gate bridge. you actually building cardboard bridge. Three months later, VC angles want to meet you. How are you going to explain your story?

With tons of money and lies will get life into trouble.

In response to #28, Myspace and Facebook were huge spammers early on – and that is the only reason we even know who they are today. They succeeded because they had sticky qualities and kept growing, but they are scum of the earth spammers we all hate.

What ever goes up must come down. While this old saying has some truth, it’s not fully accurate. The Dow Jones for example will likely never fall flat. The question is how low will the world of Web 2.0 fall when it starts to go? Does Web 2.0 have a real foundation?

tagged is the ULTIMATE email virus that spams everyone. However these guys (tagged) are smart enough to know that grey haired venture capitalists don’t know the difference. i’m sure tagged’s pitch made the vcs feel young again….little do the vcs know that tagged is the ENRON of social networks.–ooO

Social Networks Continue To Excite The Venture Capitalist Crowd…

Flixter, Tagged, et. al. are all spam sites. Most social networks get their start by spamming. Get real, only one in 10,000 sites will have real growth like Myspace or Facebook, the rest are losers and spammers.

“Let’s hope for a soft landing” – agreed.

I don’t think this is a good thing. I don’t think the investors in this are going to see a good outcome. But, that’s just me.
