Yeah, I know. I haven't been posting much lately (at least not here) and have felt a little guilty about it...until now. While working through some Web 2.0 issues/opportunities, I ran across this post from Dion Hinchcliffe's Web 2.0 Blog: http://web2.wsj2.com/10_issues_facing_web_20_going_into_2006.htm
In particular, I like what Dion had to say here:
Blogging Instead of Doing. This brings us to the walking the walk bit. While talking about something is great fun, and pundits just love to issue opinions, there has been way too much discussion about Web 2.0 and not enough action. If you don't like Web 2.0 fine, but show us something better. We're all tired of reading about people who like Web 2.0 or hate it without adding much to the discussion. Especially if you are on the negative side, show us something better or get off the ledge. The world needs constructive debate, not anti-hype. BTW: I think I'm not as guilty of this as I might look. I have some exciting things coming with Web 2.0 ingredients which I'll share with you in the near future.
I'll take Dion's challenge and focus on doing for awhile. You can find my project here: www.spout.com. Yeah, I know...it's just another blog site...for now. Give me a couple weeks and I'll show you something really cool.
Stay tuned!
