not likely!

That is the general idea around Scoble’s theory that Mahalo, Facebook and Techmeme will top google in a few years.

Robert Scoble took a few days off to come up with this theory, meaning he did think it through. Or at least that is what I am thinking, because I would hate to think that he put it out without thinking a long time about it.

Because at the current rate, there is no chance a 20-editor directory, a social network popular just in the US and a site popular among blog geeks are going to overthrow a billion dollar machine.

new troll in town?

Mark Cuban is the new troll in town. The new Dvorak.
He said the other day that the internet is dead and boring.
There should be a rule stating that if you got rich and famous of the internet, you should not talk bullshit about the internet. It’s a good common sense rule, but apparently it needs to be stated from time to time.

WordPress will fold

WordPress, besides being a great CMS, is a great and free hosting place for blogs. Wordpress.com hosts a million blogs, among which are some very popular ones (Scoble, lolcats…).

Recently, they run into some trouble, founder Matt Mullenweg writing on his personal blog that wordpress.com is banned in Turkey. Two days later, he found why. It’s nice that some people stand for freedom of expression and stuff, but sometimes things get out of hand. And running some 20 blogs that throw dirt at a person is exactly what I mean. I am not the only one that wants some blogs erased off wordpress.com, am I?

The big question is what will they do now. I think they will fold faster than Youtube on the Gandhi video. They will shut up and make it all “for the good of the users”.
