TechCrunch40 a Letdown?
September 17, 2007 |
I had been thinking that at the end of today, we would all be talking about the great new products launched at the TechCrunch40 conference. I have been looking at the coverage during the day and didn’t really feel like trying any of the new tools announced today.
Instead, it seems Flock was the most interesting product, and that one is nothing new.
I have a haunting feeling that in a year or two we might just think of this conference as the beginning of the end of the Web 2.0 boom. How many social networks do we need? How many search engines? File storage services?
They should have stuck with 20 companies. Great companies. Flock shouldn’t have been one of them. Neither should MC Hammer be there.
Instead, the product that I am actually looking forward to try wasn’t even announced yet today: Intel’s MashMaker (found via Josh Bancroft’s Life/Twitter feed), which looks like it will be a very powerful tool and might just put everything shown at TechCrunch40 today to shame.
