: Hey Rafe -- read your article just now.

Of course, we too hope that socialmedian does not fall into the category of products you discussed.

Here are a few reasons we think not.

1. We have built socialmedian over the course of 2008 with the direct help and input of thousands of people from around the world who have participated in our alpha. It's not a product looking for an audience rather an audience-built product.

2. We have chosen not to demo at Demo (asked but we turned down because there is no point in us paying $18K to demo socialmedian at this point), nor at TC50 (discussed with Mike but we both agree that socialmedian with 4300 alpha users is further along than stealth startup). We are working with TC on a different sort of presence by socialmedian at TC50. Stay tuned.

3. We're solving a real problem here at socialmedian: The noise factor. All these web 2.0 apps have turned the volume way up. We're helping people filter down the noise to personal interests. Which we think may be a web 3.0 beginning.

We'll see.

: Heh - I love Rafe.
He is our generation's John C. Dvorak.
Rafe, what age did Dvorak transition from being a krumudgin to being a cranky old man?
