Mention to Dick Costolo that, for most of this generation's Web startups, getting funded has been a snap, and he emits a rueful laugh. "Not for us," recalls the CEO of the content syndication outfit FeedBurner. "Most venture capitalists we met couldn't spell RSS - let alone understand it."
In February, the defiant Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy predicted a triumphant resurgence for his company to Business 2.0: "Four years ago we told our engineers to throw out everything that doesn't matter." Now, apparently, McNealy has decided that 200 employees are among what doesn't matter. The layoffs came from the company's high-end server group which has recently been giving away computers to anyone who asks for one to test. Indeed, even Sun president Jonathan Schwartz has acknowledged in his blog that the free trial offer has proved a bit rocky, and these cuts make that all the more apparent.

The new culture on the Web is all about consumer creation; it's composed of things like the nearly 30 million blogs out there and the 70 million photos available on Flickr.

Business 2.0: Mashups and Filtersupdated: Tue Feb 28 2006 08:30:00
As we move toward the Next Net, some of the most useful sites will be those that either help "mash up"--meaning mix and match--content from other parts of the Web or act as a filter for the overwhe...

This is the time of year when everyone makes extravagant promises to themselves and others. Why should the technology industry sit out the ritual?
We all know the type. He's a 25-year-old dude who spends about four hours a week playing videogames. Squanders five or so more hours each week watching movies. Fritters away another nine hours on t...
Do you remember the day you first surfed the Web, stretched out your arms over the vastness of cyberspace, teleported from site to site with an almost exhilarating power? Or alternately, sat waiting for "fat" pages to load?
The buzz on weblogs is becoming unbearable. Not because I think they don't merit the attention--they do. But the mainstream discussion on the subject misses the point. Nearly everything you read sa...
