What is cheese?
So I'm starting to write for one of the strangest, but at the same time the most attractive sites in the vast expanses of the web. Well for Habrahabr, that is, you understand, right? :) And I'll start with a detailed answer to the article Milk and Eggs: smile, they buy you! in the Mio column. Although it is possible (in our time almost nothing can be guaranteed), I will respond with my own thoughts, do not judge me.
So, we see a very interesting picture, which can be easily compared with the life of the wonderful English lemmings. They annually break from their homes, throw their whitewashed houses, trimmed lawns and warm fireplaces (well, yes, I’m not very familiar with the life of the lemmings), rush to the ocean with inspiration, blink into it and sail away in an unknown direction. No exhortations of the amazed public, no scientific theories have ever made them change their habit.
In the same way, today's investors with the word “social” (even on its first syllable) reflexively begin to count bills, as if enchanted by the mantra “money must work!”. Everyone had already forgotten to think about the bubble of the beginning of the decade, about the hundreds of millions of losses suffered by the largest IT companies. Venture companies see the success of such projects as Digg and Flickr, see how the centenary New York Times is already in full consultation with blogger Mike Arrington and they want to understand what's the matter with cheese? And, despite the fact that they have not yet understood this, bundles of banknotes are flowing in a dense stream from their pockets to the pockets of the creators of the popular “revolutionary” services. And from there straight to the sellers of Ferrari and Corvette'ov.

The answer to this question about cheese is a hell of a lot, of course, but my opinion is. Without exception, all large companies will never be able to become truly “native” to users, never be able to understand them. They can give them money, show them an exquisite design, become indistinguishable from today's generation of homegrown idols. But the next day, all people will go somewhere else, because they earn money at work, and friends just told about a new interesting thing that their friend invented. Or a friend of their friend.
Here are the conclusions: the gentlemen of the capitalists should give up trying to keep up with people who do not want to be caught up.
