In every market you've got to have one guy that just wants the money and tries to think of a way that no one has ever thought of before. Funny, the web application market is very similar, you have people setting the standards (youtube, flickr, digg, twitter) and you have people that want the money, yet don't want the originality (Soapbox, Zooomr, Netscape, Jaiku). I don't know if it's right or not, but sometimes trying to make the money gets you more (http://uk.techcrunch.com/2007/10/09/jaiku-bought-by-google/).


...and soon the white devils will return with the cargo.
