Porn 2.0
Dharmesh Shah posted an interesting entry today in his OnStartups blog titled Why Web 2.0 Is Like Pornography. Just based on the title, I was expecting a masterpiece. Sadly, Dharmesh lets us down easy (from a humor perspective):
This is why I think Web 2.0 is like pornography. I can’t really define what it is, but I know it when I see it.
I’m not trying to take anything away from his post — it’s a great overview of Web 2.0 for the layman. But, to be true to his title, I would have expected a list like this:
- Mashups
- User-generated content
- Advertising revenue
- Rounded corners
(Disclaimer: My pornography research is strictly Web 1.0)
