More like 2011 is a year of over-generalizations. Good luck trying to find anything you can trust anyway.

I didn't mean it to be a broad generalization. Each platform has it's own problems, this is just the latest in another reminder that each of these can shut your business down with the flick of a switch or if they catch wind of competition they don't feel is right for their particular walled garden.

I trust myself to deliver products my customers want and find useful. That's enough for me.

With all these platforms (iphone/facebook/twitter),I think the smartest guys are those who do not get much news coverage, make decent money silently without growing too big, and not being too small. When you exist because of benevolent dictator,don't think of pointing a 0.44 magnum and getting lucky if you are just going to get nuked!!!

no spread news about the site, lots of money, small userbase --- is this even possible??? if yes, please give an example of a working site.
