There seem to be a few people suggesting that Flickr (and presumably other sites along the same lines) should pay people who ‘add content’ to their site, which then helps them make money via the ads displayed….
I think that is WHOLLY missguided and forgetting what going on.

I hope I’m not the only one, but I really don’t get this whole “Web 2.0″ thing and why everyones going crazy over it.
Wow, so someone realised that having tools is one thing, but having tools that work easily, and work well is another thing, and suddenly having a more efficient tool means the web [...]

No one seems quite able to closely define what a blog is. They know when they see one, but I’ve not seen a good definition yet.
Some people say blogs have to have comments and RSS for example, but you can have that with normal articles. Several people have moaned about the various ‘top [...]

News that most interested parties already know about, Matt Cutts from Google is blogging. I’m sure he’ll last longer than Mark Jen did….
But anyway, that’s not really news still, and what I’ve got to say isn’t really news either. It’s jsut that I went over the blog to grab the feed for blogline, [...]

I want to say something about the marketing exercise generally, but I guess I should mention the wine first if I’m going to talk about it [...]

Well, that’s about all that happened to Sven Jaschan, the guy behind the Sasser and Netsky viruses.
Despite the proliferance of the worms, and amount of time and money it cost a lot of people, he’s been given an 21 month suspended jail sentence and 30hrs of community service.
Wow, I bet he regrets doing that [...]

…Dell Sucks
I had so many problems with them over a server I bought last year, that I truely never want to deal with them again, and I always advise people not to buy from them. The response I got was along the lines of “screw you”, but obviously in much more polite terms. [...]

Interesting post over at GapingVoid about making your product something that people want to talk about.

What do you have to do, to get people, those you are trying to [...]
