I probably jumped onto something else or it did not seem to be of any value at the time of discovery. Off course, people always prove me wrong. My #8 would be “Stick to the application and complete it.”, because I tend not to completely build my ideas (jump into a new idea), I do have a whole lot of half baked applications. However, whats painful is the fact that I know what the problem is and how to solve it but I still can’t get around it!

This is fantastic. Great Stuff. It is interesting however about the charge for or not charge for this service issue. It is true that the general public does understand that something is “worth something” but all too often the “coders” are so caught up in “the internet is free” that they loose site os the end goal. You shouldn’t over charge for an application, but you should not starve while everyone else reaps the benefit of your hard work. Greetings

[...] Ari Paparo founded the social bookmarking site blink.com in 1999. So why do we use del.icio.us instead of blink.com today? He admits four lessons learned (via Bokardo.com’s “7 more reasons why web apps fail“): defaults matter (such as public over private), a folder-based approach sucks, make it instantly useful, and don’t let technology decide.

Your points were valid, but one of your commenters said ‘time and effort to start using the site might be too high. For example, I come to many online spreadsheets website and try to figure out - how exactly can I use it in my life - and never quite figure that out’ One of the reasons is that web apps don’t easily mesh with offline content and yet most people have most of their content offline.
We used to talk about ’stickiness’ web 2.0 apps have helped here with feature sets and sites that require a time investment, but generally even sites like Flickr will be abandoned for the next big thing if its better.
So the solution is to go back to good old fashioned desktop apps and mix em with web apps to create the seamless interface we all crave.
Thats something we have spent the last three years trying to address at http://www.i-sho.com
