As far as I can tell, there is no traction or traffic, not to mention there is any technological barrier to entry. Any of my programmer friend can crank it out in a couple of months at most with a shoestring budget, it shouldn't take 3 full-time to build it. The whole thing looks more like a get-rich-quick kid simply wants to cash out fast in the midst of bubble 2.0.</p> Hi there, just curious, what makes this website worth 60k?

It kinda reminds me of 1996 not 1999. We still have another three years before things get really insane…</p> Sorry Al but this is not even close to a bubble YET. It kinda reminds me of 1996 not 1999.

you could use it to create a tech industry events portal…people could snap pics and video bits from every event coast to coast (my current idea for you, though i’m sure there are others)…every gathering, every formal and informal event, all chronicle and commented on at gigaom…makes that 60k look like a drop in the bucket for ad and exposure…

seriously, perhaps it’s not at all about the technology (looks nice), but rather the lack of a clear plan…so scrap that, and just cater to the early adopters – namely: your readers, their friends and the people who go to conferences that are just about things like widgets…
