Oh no! Web20 boom is over :(

Like a clockwork, one or the other media company claims every couple of months that Web20 boom is so over. It is a nice game everyone wants to be part of, so that whenever that really happens, the guy who called it up the last time will be declared a winner and you would hear the Yoohoo! I knew it. I told you so. Didn’t you get my report?….yada yada yada. Latest in the series is Dow Jones/VentureWire, CNET and scores of other bloggers chiming in. Okay, so who is next in line to confirm the boom doom?

According to me, Web20 is all about continuous improvement to the way we traverse the web. And to claim that the pace of improvement is going to falter is a very naive statement, when today we have the next billion Internet users in the increasingly globalized space ready to get their hands on the shiny apps Web20 delivers.

It’s not a matter of being ‘over’ or ‘popped’, but whether or not the continuous funding of multiple cloned business models, all YASN and YAVSS (I’ll let you guess) can be sustained.

You know what I find important about this “boom is over” speculations? We all (developers and entrepreneurs) really need to take some time away from this madness to sit quietly and think over the business models not to get into the bubble and to simply work and develop useful applications with a lower level of constant buzz from everywhere.
