News and commentary from the RSS and OPML community.

The year 2007 has already seen two great Web 2.0 start-ups makes breakthroughs. I'm sure there are more, but I wanted to speak to these in particular. After tremendous starts that gave them 0.15% reach, both start-ups appear to have stalled (at least according to the imperfect Alexa).

I've also noticed that MyBlogLog has completely disappeared from my radar (nobody is talking about it) and Twitter has started to fade. Both MyBlogLog and Twitter grew within the tech geek community. I've always had the opinion that website that grow in the tech geek community can grow quickly at first and stall. This seems to confirm that opinion.

Last night, talking with my niece, she tells me that she's not too happy with Facebook anymore. She doesn't like all these applications. I think it's clear that Facebook applications have created the latest spurt of Facebook growth, but I wonder if that's not tech geek community driven and therefor doomed to stall.
