$2,000 a year for web 2.0 updates?
OK, OK.
I was referring to The Guidewire groups report on start ups.

I know sign up is a barrier to adoption, but why not have the option. I want TINY url to have an option to register so that it can remember all of my tiny URL's. Otherwise I have to recreate them. I guess that's ok if you do, no real harm, but just saying that I would.

Do you need to double entry password or email address anymore? I noticed Kyte didn't.
I don't think you do. Password is fine since you can just reset it. Email address, well if it's wrong, just come and re-register.

For me.
Must read -Crossing the Chasm. I think it still applies.

http://www.stumbleupon.com
Launched in 2002 by three 20-somethings in a Calgary, Alberta,
apartment, StumbleUpon now has 2 million registered users drawn by its
knack for finding websites that match their interests and those of
others with similar tastes as they "stumble" around the Net.
http://www.slide.com
Slide has developed customizable and easily assembled slide shows of
photos that can be embedded in a blog or a MySpace page, sent out in an
RSS feed, and streamed to a desktop as a screensaver.
http://www.bebo.com
Bebo has built a social network, more than 30 million members strong,
that keeps users' pages private but still allows them to share things
like video and drawings made on an online whiteboard.
http://www.meebo.com
Meebo lets users manage multiple instant-messaging services from one
site. Meebo's killer app is a widget that places an IM window on your
blog or webpage.
http://www.wikia.com
Wikia operates a hosting service for ad-supported community sites that
use the same software and collaborative content model that made
Wikipedia a Web phenomenon.
http://www.joost.com
Forget the three-minute video blog. The 30-minute, broadcast-quality
Web 2.0 TV show is coming in all its full-screen glory. And if serial
disrupters Janus Friis and Niklas Zennstrom have their way, neither
television nor the Internet will be the same.
http://www.dabble.com
Dabble has designed a tool for organizing videos into playlists of
favorites. Users share them across the network, so, say, food lovers
can dabble in one another's video collections.
http://www.metacafe.com
Metacafe's service ranks uploaded videos by popularity and feedback
from a community of 17 million monthly visitors - and pays the creators
for the success of their work. The auteurs get $100 after 20,000
viewings and $5 for every 1,000 subsequent views. Since September,
Metacafe has paid a total of $250,000 to 200 contributors.
http://www.revision3.com
Revision 3 is a production studio for geek-oriented online shows.

Blip.tv has built a platform for syndicating serialized online shows
such as Starring Amanda Congdon and TreeHugger TV. Blip provides
producers with software, ads, and distribution to websites and blogs. A
deal is already signed with Web TV service Akimbo, which lets producers
send their videos to TV sets.
http://www.fon.com
Here's how it works: Fon sells a $30 wireless router to consumers. They
hook it up, register their node, and agree to share their broadband
with other "Foneros" for free. Those who want to charge outsiders for
access can do so, and Fon gets a cut. Likewise, if someone wants to pay
$2 or $3 to use the Fon network for a day, Fon takes a share of that
revenue. Just over a year old, Fon's network boasts more than 70,000
hotspots. Initially focused on Europe and Asia, Fon plans a big push in
the United States in the coming months.
http://www.loopt.com
Loopt offers around-the-clock friend tracking. Cell-phone customers are

Led by former AltaVista CEO Jim Barnett, Turn.com is offering online

targeting combined with a system that requires them to pay only for
specific desired results.
http://www.adify.com
Adify is an online marketplace for highly targeted ads. Businesses can
sell ad space directly to advertisers; advertisers can target specific
market niches while Adify handles the back-office work.
http://www.admob.com
AdMob offers a place to buy ads for delivery to cell phones. That
market is set to explode, and AdMob - which says it has sent out nearly
a billion ads in less than a year - is poised to become its middleman
of choice.
http://www.spotrunner.com
SpotRunner is a one-stop online shop for low-cost 30-second TV ads.
Local businesses can browse a library of premade spots and personalize
them for airing in their local markets.
http://www.vitrue.com
ViTrue's platform lets corporate customers solicit, edit, and upload
user-generated videos that promote their products. With companies like
General Motors tapping the YouTube generation to virally market their
wares, ViTrue is in a sweet spot.

Ultimately the service helps to match employee skills with company
objectives. North Carolina-based Quintiles, a pharmaceutical services

RSS is big in tech but small everywhere else. I think it needs to be developed to that the RSS is invisible. It needs to be like subscriptions and right now when you get to a blog and theres Atom, RSS, RSS 2, blah blah blah, it's just nuts.
Need a standards.
