Most Overrated and/or Underrated Thing on the Web
What's the most overrated and/ or underrated thing on the Web?
Kevin Farnham, CEO, Method
Most underrated: user experience. Most Websites are missed opportunities to engage, entertain, and inform users. As technology advances and user expectations rise, fixing these shortcomings becomes more and more imperative. Users deserve better.
James Ming, CEO, Justseek.com
Underrated: personalization. Developers have yet to find better ways to deliver content that focuses on individual taste. Overrated: Online degree programs. No Website can ever match the experience of getting an education in a live classroom.
Glenn S. Meyers, Chairman and CEO, Rare Medium
Underrated: The negative effect the "dumb" money chasing Internet venture capital deals has on the future of the sector. Overrated: The idea that putting e- or i- or .com on bullshit gives you something other than bullshit.
Chuck Boesenberg, CEO, ISI
Overrated: E-commerce is now leading to option-overload and frenetic consumerism. The proverbial 31 Flavors has become 31,000 Flavors and counting. Underrated: Automated Web marketing.
