Rbloc

rbloc What, you guys think just because you rock the lime green, post “beta” in your logo, and have some VC cash to burn that you’re just allowed to bite my name? Sorry, but I’ve got some news for ya: there’s already another R. Block with that job, and trust me, he’s one tough customer to unseat in google.

Haha, that google thing is funny. When I first searched for your site I noticed that and I thought, man, how very unfortunate.

I will one day overtake him, like I long since have on every other engine. No idea why Google is so stubborn about porn, though! Ah well.

Best, Ryan

Ryan Block:
Step 1: Start ambiguous “Web 2.0″ site / company
Step 2: Announce beta trial, attempting to drum up artificial demand
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit!

Oh wait, wasn’t that the Web 1.0 business model? Hmm…

But Ryan, they are the self proclaimed “agora for the new millenium”. How can you compete with that?!

Ryan Block:
A very good question. Though I wonder why they’re not “A group of nations, parties, or persons united for common action for the new millenium” (ahem). Perhaps I should give myself a “for the new millenium” tag… “A philistine for the new millenium.” I like it.
