With imageshack the resulting html (2 of which don't work) pops up in a new browser window/tab, taking you away from the page you're working in. With the Fliqz toolbar you never leave your blog post, wiki admin or social network page...you simply upload and get the embed in the browser bar for easy copy/paste directly in the window you have open. Big difference. Not to mention, the imageshack video player is super light weight and the embed code breaks in most blogs. Yes, you can upload and host video at IS but you can't take it with you which is the whole premise behind the Fliqz toolbar. Nice try guys.

Many, many of those took place merely as a way of promoting an immature or poorly thought-out product, and making a killing not on its operation, but on the first day of stock offerings to the suckers who were buying anything with ".com" attached to it? This time, there's advertising, and real ways of monetizing some -- not all -- of the new ideas. That happens, usually, first. Venture capital has to scrutinize the real bottom line before it decides to help. Wall Street is in many ways kept out of Web 2.0, and one of the things that does it is Sarbanes-Oxley. People complain about it, but at least we don't have Super Bowl ads for lousy businesses. We have real businesses getting under way. Isn’t the real difference that there are very few IPOs this time?
