Comments on: Will Users Bring Down Web2.0? http://www.adotas.com/2008/01/will-users-bring-down-web20/ Where Interactive Advertising Begins Fri, 10 Feb 2012 11:04:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: Jamie Riddell http://www.adotas.com/2008/01/will-users-bring-down-web20/#comment-223723 Jamie Riddell Thu, 03 Jan 2008 13:13:50 +0000 http://www.adotas.com/2008/01/will-users-bring-down-web20/#comment-223723 Thats an interesting stat but free services in exchange for ads is not a new or '2.0' concept and many have failed along the way, from bepaid.com to Claria which may not be bust, but is not as visible as it once was. The number of failures also highlights the sheer number of startups that are seeking advertising income as their principle income source, with little or no substance or thought as to how the numbers really shake out. So this is not a surprise, but its not a cause for concern either.

Web 2.0 encompasses everything from simple clean code, to design trends, to funny names, to business plans, and has signified an "upgrade" in web software across the board in just about every industry. There will be no Bringing Down of Web 2.0- only a shakeout period and a refined Web 3.0 bandwagon to jump on. 9:1 ratio? please, new free sites are going to sell out to bigger ad pasting companies for the rest of time.
