Webomatica: USAToday: Anti-Social Readers?

  • Bryce · 2 years ago
    This seems like a common trend. The people who make sites forget they aren't typical users of the sites they make. Web 2.0 is great for those on the bleeding edge (such as teenagers with too much time on their hands, as evidenced by Digg and Slashdot), but does your mom get it? Probably not. Web 2.0 is still in beta (or gamma, perhaps) and probably isn't ready for a site like USA Today.

    True, Bryce. I was thinking maybe part of the success of MySpace and FaceBook is what you mention - the target users are people with lots of free time and energy. Even me, someone who is into the technology only has time for maybe 2 or 3 of these social sites - in addition to this hapless blog of course!
