Web 2.0: Why Only a Few Will Remain Standing

What could stop Web 2.0 is when advertisers come to the realization that nobody actually clicks on the advertisements on these social networking sites because people are too busy networking to click an ad. How does a social networking company make money without advertising? They charge a fee to use it that's how, then what will happen?

IMHO i think the trick to social gaming sites (i.e. WOW) is "subliminal" advertising: the kind you cant see; only subconciously. like when your in orgimarr; theres subliminal "coke" and MSFT messages that are not incorporated into the environment ina n invasive way. the problem is the measurement of the progress, or profitability of of these messages

He is right about mobile that asia and europe is light years ahead of us in terms of actually using it for social and business activities. It could be huge...

Well just like so may other sites during the bubble no one will pay for social networking. I am a linkedIn member but as an individual I will never pay their high membership fees. It will only be paid by those who think they may benefit from it. LinkedIn seems to be a primary site for recruiters but I have yet to find a job from this site and I am not sure the recruiters are benefiting from it. Many of the members have formed their own private network and use it to jumpstart their brand. Google, Amazon, Ebay and Priceline are the models for success. I have not seen documented success of the B2B sites either.

I believe ad insertions in podcasting has some merit. You watch your favorite download and there is a extremly brief ad in there. It catches your eye but is there only for a small time. You can't ignore it as you want to watch your program.

Web is dying. Get outside and smell the roses.

A charge for using these web 2.0 sites have been implimented and in the long run all will have a fee to use them.I have created my large list by using these sites while free so get busy and build that list.Of course we have web 3.0 coming in and that will create the same problem in years to come.
