Why I Don’t Buy Into The Web 2.0 Death

by Jason Wilk on October 10, 2008

Just a comment I have been posting around the web to those who have jumped ship on Web 2.0

  • I’m sorry but VC’s , angels, etc. are still going to be hedging their bets on what technology or business model is going to be next, whether or not the companies they are looking at have revenue. These VC’s are merely telling people to slow their burn rate, try and create revenue if possible and just keep things steady while the government sorts through its incompetent bullshit and things start settling. VC’s last week were saying ‘everything is all good and this is their time to shine’. Now, because BofA downgrades display advertising, Google yanks back their earnings, Apple gets shorted on retail, Yahoo continues to suck and Sequoia has a meeting, we all start to suffer? Sequoia is one of the few VC’s that has a major interest in public finance (Goole, Apple, Yahoo, and more). This downturn economy is hurting their fund, however the rest of the intelligent VC’s who don’t have public interest should and will be investing. Of course, they will be reccomending to startups that they spend less money on ping pong tables, PR and beer bongs to move through the crisis without the need to try and raise another round of financing. But this is not time for everyone to call it quits; that is ignorance. Yes, many of the strartups out there don’t deserve to live until tomorrow because they aren’t innovative, well recieved, profitable and just plain dumb, but the saavy investors who have a good tank and don’t rely on Joe Public are going to stick with it. I just don’t buy into that Web 2.0 is done. Web 2.0 is not Pets.com remix. It is innovation and it is not a phase, it’s still testing grounds for the future ahead.

MixMatchMusic Turns Members Into DJs

by John Jorgensen on September 9, 2008

  • MixMatchMusic, which launched its public beta today at DEMOfall 08, is a music service that lets indie artists upload songs which can then be remixed, downloaded and/or purchased by members.
  • Its Remix Wizard allows members to easily mash up different segments (known as ’stems’) of songs to create their own remix that can be voted on and downloaded.
  • Artists can embed the Remix Wizard to encourage fans to re-cut their material.
  • Tiny commentary: MixMatchMusic is like a scaled version of remix.nin.com, where Nine Inch Nails uploads their songs (cut up into segments) that users can then remix and share with each other.

Anyone made anything cool with MixMatchMusic? Let us hear it.
