Would you expect them to say anything else? This brings to mind a rant I've been meaning to make about the self-congratulation and mutual back patting that seems to go on with Web2.whatever companies. They all seem very keen to say how excellent and hip each other's ideas are, but in reality the average person thinks that 90% of these companies are just wasted HTML. It's like they all live in this Pleasantville-esque bubble where no idea is bad and people will definitely want to use their service because they are "leveraging new media" or "blah blah social networking blah blah". I just hate being marketed to. So when I see all these companies desperately trying to get their name out there with so called next gen marketing techniques like memes, blogs, astro, new-media, etc. I want to burn the Internet down. There is no point to any of the above. -- Kyle Of course your source says that Strutta is being well received, when the source is the Strutta PR Machine. Would you expect them to say anything else?

Bah. If only I actually knew how to do stuff. Instead of criticize other people for doing stuff. PS invite me!
