I’m completely agree with author’s idea regarding Web 2.0. All tools require specialists to work with.

@ Allan.

We created Pingsta ICE – http://www.pingsta.com/ice_intro – for this very purpose. To provide startups, SMBs, large enterprises and service providers alike {yes, even Amazon is welcome ;-) } with Network-Intelligence-as-a-Service. This way, companies will simply plug into the ICE platform and tap into Pingsta’s coalesced Internetwork expertise on-demand – like a utility on a pay-as-you-go basis.

Cheers,
Peter
Pingsta Founder & CEO

Many of these internet operations problems are caused by the two web 2.0 business models which are:

“I’ll create a site that goes viral creating massive traffic and user base so I can sell cpm’s for piddling amounts”

“I’ll create a site that goes viral creating massive traffic and user base which makes no money, but the traffic and user base are so impressive that maybe some sucker will buy a percentage so I can say its worth x billions”

If their business models didn’t rely on massive volumes of traffic then this wouldn’t be such an issue.

Many of these web 2.0 companies have models that mean the more traffic they have the more money they lose.

If lots of people like it, use it, but it’s free, and it relies on contributions from ‘investors’ to continue, it’s not a business, it’s a charity – like Twitter.

Good article. It’s true that some Web 2.0 companies are so overwhelemed by their idea that they forget the fundamentals.
