Web 2.0 is pants: official

No one uses it

USERS ARE STAYING away from the functions in Web 2 based sites, according to a study.

Bill Tancer, an analyst with Web audience measurement firm Hitwise told Reuters that Web 2 is turning out to be such a massive turkey it could feed a family of ten for Christmas and still have left overs for Boxing Day. Well, we are paraphrasing him a bit.

Tancer said some Web 2 sites are popular it is just that no-one is using the natty functionality. A tiny 0.16 percent of visits to Google's top video-sharing site, YouTube, are by users seeking to upload video for others to watch. Only two-tenths of one percent of visits to Flickr, a popular photo-editing site owned by Yahoo are upload new photos.

Most users are voyeurs who like to watch rather than create and the entire "interactive thing" that Web 2 was supposed to engender is sailing over their heads higher than than an orbiting space shuttle, Tancer said.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
