"中文网志年会"和创业

Filed under: venture by im | 1 Comment » |十一月 12, 2005 at 6:20 下午

自由放松的“中文网志年会“给参会者很多乐趣,相信很多人多年之后仍然都会记得这次别开生面的会议，至少都会记得会场外那些有趣的玩具吧。说实在的，任何有意安排的活动都会被其中自然创造的节目所羞退。这不正是大多数人所期望的自由文化之聚吗？所以回想起来，组织这次会议的“群智基金会”同伴们也该自豪，算是国内非常少见的Conference 2.0吧。

因为跟不上会议的节奏,所以只能大部分时间坐在休息间里面，一边收看直播（多此一举，呵呵），一边和来来往往的创业者和有趣的Blogger 进行交流。会议上下所激发的创业思路真是让我应接不暇，自然也有了很多关于创业的遐想。大部分创业者也会自贴 Web 2.0的标签，但是比在1.0 媒体和有些网站上看到的要实际得多。从投资的角度，这些团队也许更有孵化的价值。

    This is funny /lol

    Web 1.0:

    Move to San Francisco. (Take frequent trips to New York City, though.) Learn Java or PHP or Perl. Buy UNIX servers from SUN and laptops from IBM. Create a useless web-based commerce site that sells objects like books or dog food. Your website must be some made-up word– like “joinks.com” or “gadzooks.com” or “floobiejoobie.com”. Or it must be something boring like “rocks.com” or “vegetables.com”. Catch lots of “eyeballs”, but no paying customers, go IPO, hire 200 college grads for rock-star salaries and stock options, “get big quick” and be first to market, invent some new thing that’s never been done and no one wants, hype your company in Wired and Fast Company, waste your VC money, never turn a profit, then dump all your Aeron chairs in the inevitable fire sale auction. Get rehired at our old pre-web 1.0 corporate job, watch your job go to India, quit and start working on Web 2.0 in your spare time.

    Web 2.0:

    Move to Chicago. (Take frequent trips to Portland, Oregon, though.) Learn JavaScript or Ruby or Python. Buy Linux servers from Dell and laptops from Apple. Create a useful web-based application that does one tiny thing well– like creating a text file or a bunch of linked text files. Your website must fit the following form: “integer|plural-noun.com”. Catch lots of eyeballs and some dollars (at least with ad revenue), never go IPO, hire your college friends for coffee shop wages and actual stock (no options), “get real” and be the last to market, reinvent some old thing that everyone wants, hype your company on your blog or podcast or screencast (or get others to do it for you… or all of the above), save your “angel” money, make a profit from day zero, buy your chairs at IKEA, dump all your IP in the inevitable sellout to a Web 1.0 company. Quit and start working on Web 3.0 – Brain Implant Edition.
