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 […]

What a waste

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 […]

If You Build it, they Would not Come.

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”

The “Buy Danish” Hitchhickers
Rogel @ February 25, 2006 # No Comment Yet
Things like this making me uneasy; in fact they have nothing to do with freedom of speech. They are only hitchhikers on fashionable trend, trying to make quick buck. They remind me the people selling merchandize near the World Trade Center site. Both represent poor taste and lack of values.

Tales from the Thousand and one Night

I didn’t believe it when I read about it in this Israeli blog , but that is correct - someone actually selling tags . It is web 2.0 at its best with minimal design, tag cloud and API’s all over the place but the bottom line is: they are selling tags.
And why should you buy […]

You too Symantec?
Rogel @ January 12, 2006 # No Comment Yet
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.

Topping TravBuddy
Rogel @ December 31, 2005 # 4 Comments
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. Today, however, I found a company that top Truvbuddy . Apparently MyTripJournal.com offers similar services with one huge difference. Not only […]

More of the same thing…
Rogel @ December 27, 2005 # 3 Comments
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 […]
