I just can’t believe all these companies are getting funding when there are usually 3 other companies that basically do the same thing and they are just trying to do it “better”…those crazy VCs.

Functionality is more important, I think, than all the flashy bits. Remember the legions of flashy banner ads in the late 90s? Yuck!

I totally agree. I stopped reading TechCrunch daily about 3 months ago. Couldn’t get enthused about another app launch that had zero wow factor. I still stop by now and again to see what’s doing but don’t get much from it.

However I’m sure we’ll see the same post about this length of time after web 3.0 (which wont be called that i’m sure)… all things fade.. [...]
