And try to either get a job, or get customer support from these tweeny-saturated "great idea" companies. You can't why? Try and find a phone number anywhere on these amazing websites, it's like, "oh we are so great, we don't want to be bothered with customers, or applicants, just click on us from Google, and buy advertising from us. Even the White House has a phone number on it's site, honestly who the f_ck are you people? GET A REAL JOB!! Not some crappy, pathetic, pastime that wholly relies on a computer screen. Whats funny is, if you get sick from a McDonalds hamburger, you can bring it back, and they are more helpful at welcoming you to voice your complain, but if you should receive non-workable links, or problem with your "free" account of some crappy web 2.0 site, then suddenly there is no one to hear your voice. Pathetic. GET A REAL AND WORTHWHILE JOB. BE A REAL MAN, OR A REAL WOMAN, don't be chumps. Chumps. Web companies suck in general.

I raised this issue in bar camp and everyone was loking at me if i am a alien :) I thought web 2.0 is about free economy and things will change with semantic web.But today i read interview of NOva , founder of TWINE.and guess what they said they see adversting as major source of earning. nWw I can see this is as pure media business.No more discussions Well Paras I share all your reasons why web startup sucks.Specially that free economy stuff.

Giving things away for free can be thought of as a hobby or charity but by no means business. @Elaine:

I believe giving away solid, researched information is the key to building trust with a possible customer. Essentially you have created free content here; information that cost me nothing. My website strives to bring together timely articles from news sources and the results of major studies to help people who are starting an internet business or who have failed and wonder why.
