OMG!!! I get a tweet that Seesmic is laying off 1/3 of their staff and here I thought it was some rather large layoff... It's 7 people... Granted, it sucks for them, but the sky is not falling.

The problem is, most of those so called Web 2.0 companies don't make money. They can stretch thin and last longer, but it is matter of time that they will run out of money and go out of business.

Of course, blame the market when you can.

This i because of the new "froo froo" way of doing business. "We dont charge for a thing". But, in the real world, the services and products you use COST MONEY. Money is not evil, its simply a necessity. Otherwise, why not live in the woods and hunt your food?

A "tweet" ? Geez. People, get real. This whole Twitter crap is another flash in the pan waste of time and energy. Pick up the damn phone.
