I love the fact that Israeli companies are in the front of innovation and high tech and my first intention is to support development made in Israel. However, and as bad as I feel, I cannot avoid writing that Zlango is a service that nobody need.
If it wasn’t bad enough when young people’s language […]

Tech crunch reports on round A financing for PageFlakes . I’m already lost with all the personalized pages that look basically the same and are un-useful in basically the same level.
Quick and incomplete count of similar pages will include Live , NetVibes , Eskobo ,Protopage , Myhommy and the personalize […]

I wrote in the past about companies that rely solely on users to generate data on their site. I argued that they do not solve the user problem. Yesterday I was glad to see that this idea was the first on the list of 50 reasons why “People aren’t using your web site”

I never liked Symantec’s anti-virus . When I had it installed on my old Sony Vaio it use to be very generous using the computer resources, making it difficult for any other thing, and wasn’t so efficient detecting viruses.

Awhile ago I wrote about a TravBuddy and I argued (here and here ) that the main concept of having the users submitting content into TravBuddy database is fallacy.

One of the things that bother me with the hype of web 2.0 is the lack of real innovation. Following the first wave, of companies that create new product or successful business, the next waves are rarely developing anything new. As I wrote in the past I like competition and I like to have […]
