Mobile Monday London Post-Mortem

I just got back from the Mobile Monday London event.

Some of the speakers were fairly interesting, although a bit too much stammering and faffing went on. A bit more get up and go could be useful.

There were a couple things I found interesting. They were talking about a Bubble 2.0.

I’m not really sure what that means, and I think that perhaps they should have agreed on what a “Bubble” is before they went into whether or not it was one.

Are some people going to make bad investments? Of course. Doesn’t that mean there is a Bubble, no… there are a lot of fools. Some of which maybe didn’t learn anything from the last tech “bubble”, or “correction” or whatever you want to call it.

Are companies like CMGI popping up? No, that makes me think there is no Bubble. That was a horrible idea.

But what about YouTube and MySpace? They don’t exactly have sane and rational valuations…
But I really think they are one-offs. There is too much VC money sitting on the sidelines to be hollering about a Bubble. The fact that it is a topic of discussion shows that there are a lot of shitty ideas.
Most of the companies that demo-ed were… not surprisingly, crap.

I liked AdItOn and I thought Reporo had some good ideas, if they were a bit narrow in focus.

The rest of them sucked.
