I’m trying to think who issues more press releases, and seemingly jumps from one “focus area” to another:
Glam Media or Heavy.com?
I could not even tell you what these companies stand for anymore… that’s I guess what happens when you raise gushing amounts of VC: Heavy’s raised some $25M and more, Glam about $100M. I stopped counting… but it’s a bit of a joke that your media partners, advertisers and users get confused by the barrage of hyperbole that crams my freaking inbox every day about the latest thing.
Sizzle over substance… I can’t wait for this wave of hype to crater and more way for something meaningful, again… which will of course give way for more crap and hype. But I digress.

Tech Crunch gets props for shunning the “pay for play” model, and even more props for live streaming everything… but it’s a bit of a farce that Yammer won, not because it’s not a cool product and potentially useful application, but because it’s a clone of an existing product with no business model, targeting a smaller population, and hawking something resembling a business model, but not quite.
Just saying.
