Can you survive 24 hour without Google?

Can I survive without Google Search, Google Reader, GMail, Google Maps and Google Notebook? Probably not. - Harry Chen
that will be very difficult indeed.. It depends, if I'm on a beach for holidays, yes, But in case of normal work life, no way.. - Jaap Willem
Easily, without a computer or access to the internet even. But it does make it quite clear just how much I rely on these services. Just make life in general a lot easier and certainly online life. - SusanVillasLewis
Only Google Search is still a must. - Dimitar Vesselinov

If you are a blogger and like to attend the Expo for free in exchange for some pre posting, the blogger outreach program is for you. ;) There are still some slots left, and we would especially love more bloggers from the non english sphere. - Nicole Simon via Bookmarklet

Thoughts on using Twitter for micropayments. Good stuff! - Chris Messina via Mento
Micropayments are *really* hard to make money off of. I was going to do a startup built on this idea a year ago, but finding a business plan that would work was near impossible. It's possible, just not easy. - Jesse Stay

The real problem with micropayments is not so much the platform - but the actual source of funds. Many past implementations insisted on credit card dependence - which made it difficult to handle micro transactions, fraudulent chargebacks/use, etc. Others tried to utilize billing systems of mobile carriers and other utility companies - but beauocracy gets in the way. The key is maintaining a constant flow of incoming hard cash, preferably in a way similar to current gift card implementations (ie. have early adopters get their hands on retail MicroCash card w/ face values of $2/5/10/15/whatever). At that point the platform is not so much of an issue - even the simplest Twitter bot can credit/debit participating parties. - Aviv
(micro)payment system stories of bright future are not even entertaining anymore... - silpol
There is a very successful company in China called Tencent which is listed on the Hong Kong exchange under the symbol of 0700.HK. They succeeded by combining IM with micropayments, and now gaming. No need to have a credit card. Market cap of the company is >US$25B. I'd say that with all the Americans with worsening credit this will be a good market...When people don't trust CCs they'll fall back on micropayments... - Paul Denlinger
The missing piece is a cash-based funding option. Imagine walking into any supermarket and buying a $5 MicroCash card, after which you can easily Tweet 10 cents to a blogger, one buck to your buddy, and so on. The $5 will continue to circulate. As long as the provider doesn't need to worry about banks, charge-backs, fraud, etc. - the service itself is amazingly simple. Outside of the US this will eventually be possible - http://www.ukash.com/gb-en/uka... - Aviv
Why aren't the phone companies getting into micro-payments. - Andrew Warner
Andrew, they're in the most unique spot to do it. Overseas they are into similar types of transactions - you can pay and get charged on your phone bill, for example. - Jesse Stay via twhirl
Take a look at this story -- it inspired my original tweet: http://www.economist.com/scien... - Chris Messina

“Scoble says a bunch of startup websites suck. I'm so bored with web 2.0 these days, I don't even want to spend the time checking out those sites to see if he's right or not.”

I never had it. - Robert Scoble
I think it's a pretty fair assessment. We've had a surge of innovation in the last year, which has been followed by a shed load of copy cats and mashups (your service + his service = my service) with a few gems here and there. Hopefully in time something cool will rise out of the "me too" brigade. - Slippy Lane
The only problem I see with web 2.0 is that it seem there's not many orginal ideas. I mean twitter comes on the scene and next we see 50 look alikes that don't seem unique enough. I believe there still is a vast area of ideas yet to be discovered but there are also a lot of compaines that will end up in the dead pool. - Colide81
The good news is that a lot of these companies on the list aren't very Web 2.0 ish... we're starting to see a new class of tech being trotted out, and a lot of it is post-Web2.0. I like where it's going. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
I think it's good the industry slows down a little bit and looks back to see how to get more people into this world. The early adopters are too far ahead of mainstream people. But, that aside, I'm getting tired of copies of everything. I'm hoping to see some really cool new things this week. - Robert Scoble
It's going to be a big week... - Zee at WeDoCreative
maybe I am alone in this but after digging into a couple of startups I am way more apt to side with Mark. The are refreshing, sure their sites could all be flashier but their -ideas- are sound. For my money, good design is cheap, good ideas are priceless. - Steve Spalding
What's wrong with you people? Web 2.0 is brilliant! Rumour has it they're bringing out a Web 2.0 film next year, followed by the Web 2.0 video game 6 months later. - James Robertson
Half of these companies, I thought, were not so much Web 2.0 or cutting edge, but transitional, bringing technologies to the enterprise. That's why they're willing to spend money on an event like this. And, Robert, I thought your post drifted from critiquing their sites to critiquing their products and business models. Not every one of those sites was awful, in my opinion. Btw, my hosting is down, but here's my synopsis of those sites http://www.google.com/notebook... - klecu
That was my issue with it, there are tons of awful models we rave about because their sexy, it has made it so when we see a useful ( albiet homely ) enterprise app we can't understand the value. - Steve Spalding
I doubt the web 2.0 film will make it to the cinemas, it will probably go straight to bittorrent. - John Cooper
@Robert Scoble: Yes you had it. I was a fan of you when you blogged about great stuff. - Svartling
I don't know why people - in this case you Svartling - can't just disagree instead of launching personal attacks. - Zee at WeDoCreative
I am sorry if this looks like an personal attack. I'm sorry Scoble. - Svartling
@Zee (top): iPhone Apps, OS X shareware, looking forward to CS4, like the intersection of entertainment and tech (Amazon streaming video). Bored with social networking web2.0 stuff and web apps that are far inferior to desktop software. If any of these Demo companies are cool, please, someone else write about them so I can read about it later. - Jason Kaneshiro
I think maybe the state of the US economy and our current political turmoil might be having an effect on innovation in "Web 2.0". We're all kind of focused more on the essentials than the "fluff" of which most websites are, as much as like to think they are life-changing amazing things. When things bounce back we'll see more innovation again. - Lindsay Donaghe
Lindsay!!! Happy Birthday!!! :D - Zee at WeDoCreative
hahah Zee, I think you commented on the wrong post! :) - Lindsay Donaghe
Jason, that's a shame because I think we're really at the early stages of the web app phenomenon. It's pretty early days...Your probably doing the right thing by stepping away for a while then. - Zee at WeDoCreative
Lindsay, no...I just didn't want to comment where everyone else was :) I wanted to make sure you were reading.... :) - Zee at WeDoCreative

"More than one-half of adults surveyed in 17 countries do not know what social networking is, according to Synovate. The company said it asked over 13,000 consumers in Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, South Africa, Taiwan, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the US if they were familiar with social networking." - Chris Messina via Mento

I hope they don't stand around 10 minutes just staring each other down and powering up like the anime. oh, Spike from the Buffy tv show is playing Piccolo (he's not green or wearing a turban). - Alan Le via Bookmarklet
It'll be interesting to see how they use special effects to recreate the fight scenes where people are flashing around and moving so fast you can't see what's happening. Combine that with all the standing around and it's a wonder I ever got into DBZ. - Mitch
