This has been my biggest complaint about "Web 2.0". Far too much emphasis on "cool" and not enough on "real". People (who are not willing to pay for anything) don't need more ways to connect...but business (who will pay) always needs more ways to connect and sell. We are a prime example. 7-digit revenues and profits. We may not be sexy but we're paying the bills and then some. Regards, George Amen to that my brother.

Don't get me wrong many of them are pretty cool but none of them are market changers and are mostly all "for fun" type applications. Are there no new startups looking to change markets or is everyone just chasing to become the next facebook or twitter? All fun and games with no REAL value. I want to know who is going to create the next SalesForce.com where they create something that is actually beneficial to businesses and is a game changer in the marketplace. Why don't more people focus on applications that actually add value rather than just trying to help me find better videos on the internet or ways to better connect with my friends...where's the innovation?

Aside from his bullishness on what IMHO is Slide's absurd valuation he's clearly a techno savant and I hope we hear a lot more from him as the sweeping changes continue. The live stream is great. Next year consider increasing interactivity with the online audience which would be even cooler. The Thiel interview was the most interesting piece I’ve seen in some time.
