(from May 26) Web 2.0 fails to produce cash http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/6c968990-2b4c-11dd-a7fc-000077b07658.html?nclick_check=1 ----------- The shortage of revenue among social networks, blogs and other “social media” sites that put user-generated content and communications at their core has persisted despite more than four years of experimentation aimed at turning such sites into money-makers. Together with the US economic downturn and a shortage of initial public offerings, the failure has damped the mood in internet start-up circles. ------------ Just wondered Bob if you saw this article in the Financial Times.

That very little (if any) of it is, or can be, monetized? That most of the self-professed "experts" know jack about conversion and how to make money online? That there are still people who think that driving unqualified traffic masks problems? Surely you know that the majority of it doesn't work, won't work and wouldn't get a moment's notice if anyone was actually measuring the ROI? I mean really.... All this hullaballoo is for the birds. Navel pontifications created by consultants who had nothing in their arsenal so they came up with random acronyms and catchy phrases for those willing and/or desperate enough to drink the Kool-Aid. You are an old dog and you've proven you can learn the new clicks with the most potential (blogging, for example.) Please let the puppies chase their rainbows and their bright, shiny objects. While they're busy being distracted and ever-amused by their own tails, you can continue to create solid results for your clients. If you're feeling generous, perhaps you'll even line their kennels with the millions you're making online. Bob, exactly what is it that you don’t understand about all this social marketing crap?

As I find this is all vastly amusing, I will add my 2 cents:
- 95% of blogs are intellectual haggis, intellectual detritus that would have earned an “F” when I was teaching logic to freshmen college students;
- they named it ‘twit’ter for a reason;
- and as one maketing guy gleefully points out, there are only a few real cowboys, but there are millions for the “herd”- and most of the Scro-balls are aptly displaying the herd mentality, flat-lining when in the “Original Thought” category.

I spoke to a number of bright and well known people in Search and Web Marketing and when push come to shove they are all coming back with the same considerations on Social Media: It's not converting. It's good, it's the future but it can literally take the shirt off your back with no return whatsoever. This reminds me so very much about the hype of the 90's (somebody remember Pointcast.com?) There is certainly a future in Social Media, the audience is building, we still don't have business models and metrics fitting this new environment: IMHO Car manufacturers friending people on Facebook isn't exactly the right way forward ...

Rant over yonder. The message is the magnet. Content king, onion ring. This is a very compelling post. Break it into 140 character chunks. And post to Twitter or anywhere. The shark swims and eats. The writer writes. Cocodrillos eat, too. Does Scoble look like Philip Seymour Hoffman in Along Came Polly, or is it just me? Crocodile Tears. Noise here, noise there. Rant over yonder.

He says some people are technology enthusiasts and want the absolute newest thing (say, Twitter), while the group he calls pragmatists want the thing that's proven to work (say, direct mail). You can't convince one group with the arguments that the other group understands, which is one reason why so many tech innovations get a promising early market and then stop selling ... all the enthusiasts bought one, and no one is explaining to the pragmatists, in their language, why they need one.
