1.) Y2K! Yes the infamous and hyped for money Y2K! It was a huge hoax that companies fueled it to the point that people were waiting for the world to screech to a dead halt. Some say that more than $4B was spent to fix the none-existent problem. We lived thru it and we are still here! Epic Fail – Daylight Rubbery!

2.) FaceBook Content Rubbery: changes its tune and now it says whatever you create on their system, belongs to them! Belongs to them? Yes sir! The own everything that you put on their system and they do what they please with it! Surprisingly they get away with it with minimal pain. Epic Fail (on part of the Community) – Daylight Rubbery (on part of FaceBook)!

3.) Twitter Hack: Now this was so stupid, since whatever twitter receives, it spills it out immediately to the public, so what is the point of hacking an open system that has nothing inside? Just to show off? What? I can’t think if anything else. Epic Fail!

4.) Social media updates: FaceBook – Twitter – Ustream have been spitting out updates like there is no tomorrow! Enough already, since most of updates leave the existing bugs in place and introduces more bugs! Let us deal with the bugs that we have learned how to deal with and keep the new ones to yourself! Epic Fail!

5.) Gmail Crashes: While Google’s Gmail was in beta, it never crashed. Since it has been declared out of beta and officially released, it keeps crashing. What gives? Can we take Gmail back to Beta? As a Software Engineer I have never heard of an application or service that has gone from version 1.0 to version 0.9 beta! Have you? Epic Fail!

6.) Google Wave: We were counting the days as to when we received our invite to the launch of Google Wave. Incidentally, I got my invite in the first week of the Wave launch. It can be and amazing tool, but has it fizzled out already? I think Google has done a terrible job of advertizing and expanding the product. I won’t be surprised that the close it up as they did with Grand Central. Epic Fail (on Google’s part)!

IBM offers cloudy blue data centre vision for small and medium size operations.

Blue Cloud – Data Centers operated locally by small and medium size companies. Is this the beginning of the end to the large Data Centers sucking the blood of their customers that can not afford internal Data Centers? We are going back and forth on the Back end and front end tiers like they are going out of style? Thin clients huge servers also present problems too. We started with Huge Data Centers and Then clients connecting to Main frames. Then we went to Thin Servers and Fat Clients. With the advent of Internet Speed we want to go back to Thin clients and local Data centers! Can we make out minds up? I guess not, eh?

TechCrunch says:

“Bebo is taking on YouTube (and Hulu). Today, it opened up its social network to video partners who want access to its captive audience. Launch partners include CBS, MTV Networks, ESPN, the BBC, Channel Four, BSkyB—Bebo is very popular in the UK—Next New Networks, Crackle, Ustream, Last.fm and JibJab. The partners can keep all advertising dollars from the videos (and from music too). Bebo gets to keep its members on its site.”

May be before that Bebo should solve the bandwidth enigma of taking video on first, and then go against Youtube and hulu.
