»Taking stuff too personal , Who said web 2.0 has to be serious all the time

I really do look at all the ping backs , Honestly i dont understand whats all the fuss about . Who said web 2.0 has to be Serious and a full blown service that fix’s your daily life in a swing of CSS code . People forgot about enjoying the web like it should be . Not every website that pops out today with the BuZz Web2.0 has to be a problem solver . Where did all the fun go , did i miss something when they all agree that the web became strictly a tool for personal use ? , I enjoy taking things off my chest , Not just to vent it out like on grouphug and other but to see what other people think about it .

Every website can be taken seriously and humor at the same time . People post Idiotic links on Digg aside Important news and world affairs all together , Does that make it ok ? a website that people push Posts to a frontpage and nothing more?
I find people on blogs spending time taking apart the website from top to bottom claiming its a waste of time , And you sitting and doing screenshots of the website and writing on a blog isnt!? , Why not say every blog is a waste of time . 99% of them are useless and basicly just serve as a Venting stage for someone to write whats on his mind . What is i4giveu so diffrent in that ? that people can select categorys ? god forbid !

People should really really really really lighten up a bit and look to see that there are a few serious posts and discussions on i4giveu , Dont judge a book by its cover or a website by its Buzz name (web2.0oo) , I personaly confessed on stuff i wouldnt tell a brick wall and find it intersthing that other share the same thing and thats the whole point .
I never intended to become astartup , All the website was constructed on spare time and glory nights of me and my partner , People go off saying they cant believe someone invested money it in , They should be asking themselfs how 2 guys managed to create something this sort of scale without a penny and willing to create alot more without a dime also , The net is there for exploring and just celebrating that the world is so tiny under the internet scope . Stop Judging if the colors are bright enough or it really serves a purpose but enjoy and celebrate the internet “Open Mic” Stage you might learn a thing or two about entrepreneuring .

At the bottom line , Thats all that matters .

Cheers and take life a bit lighter
