The are some very basic experiences that underlie my rules of not lying to the developer and letting the developer be true to the users of social web building. In the 1990s internet was more of a sparsely populated playground.
Due to my undergrad and grad classes I got involved in computer information sciences and took several online classes in my science major of Molecular Biology. One of the social web sites that I participate din created stuff for was BioMOO, a MUD using VR technology in web page format. it existed between 1993 and lasted until about 2001.
A lot of stuff was done as far as presentations, talks, white papers, and MUD object building with just everyone being honest in what they wanted to create and showing what they could create. During its high point there was at least one group of students and professors as members from every majro College and University worldwide.
This is why I am being so hard on a First Stage Start Up Funding Company right now in that you cannot build a social web 2.0 site by lying to the developer or the users as it is the millions of users the media companies are paying for when they buy a web 2.0 start up.
