Kiko bought by Tucows (Kikows?)

Rojo scooped up by Typepad (which you can read about here, here, here, here, and here)… ok so I didnt link the “here’s” but would you click on them anyway?

Really what’s the point in me investing any of my time with these 2.0 sites? The current trend is that they’ll be scooped up and re-purposed before I even get my 100th friend. What’s next? Digg being bought out by the New York Times (count on it) and completely overhauled and littered with advertising?

Just like my TV viewing experience. I can’t start watching a new show anymore… been burned too many times in the past. 4 episodes in, just when I am digging a new show (like Love Monkey), and BAM… they pull the plug on it and it later shows up on E! Well, I don’t want to watch it on E!, especially 4 months later when I’ve forgotten all about it.

So Web 2.0 company’s out there, please stop the beta releases, the world is not your test bed.
