Here we go again with one useless blogger calling other companies failures. As an American living in France I'd like to point out that most of the "hot" web apps he speaks of are basically useless to me because they don't work outside of the valley and big US cities.
The French CEO doesn't hear of foursquare, in fact most Americans don't know of foursquare, because when you type in Paris you get a fuckin crêpe shop in Astoria, Queens as the top result.
And so on and so on. Most of the companies listed only have traction in US, period. Pandora sounds good but I'll stick to Spotify and Deezer because it's available right now where I'm at.
BTW, Twitter is great, but what happened to sending an email if you have questions. I have a hard time believing you can ask a good question or get a reasonable response in 140 characters. Lots of companies are on twitter but it's not their point of contact, just a tertiary channel.
- RobertScoble 17y agoI talk all the time to CEOs via Twitter. I guess they found a way to answer in 140 characters. As to Paris, it's only been turned on for two weeks and I didn't see a crepe shop in Astoria, Queens, but I guess I missed that cause I don't like crepes. The rest of the tips left were freaking awesome, though, and I greatly appreciated the few people who left them. Um, the whole post was actually about companies doing it right if you looked at it the right way. I didn't name a SINGLE company who was doing it wrong. Glad you are such a careful reader!
