There are several things associated with a bunch of web 2.0 geeks and the launching of their new app. Among these include the following:
- Throw a party featuring all of your app’s crazy tagging features and mashup technology.
- Invite everyone using Soonr’s skype-mobile phone integration technology.
- Have everyone mark the event using CalenderHub’s group calendar service.
- Keep on top of your launch tasks using 37 signal’s Writeboard software.
- Get word of your party onto TechCrunch.
- Send out fifty million press releases about the launch of your app using theweblogwire.com (Just kidding about the 50 million part, don’t even try that).
- Use Flickr to show off pics from the party.

Thanks for the mention, Rohail. I’m glad that you appreciate our service enough to include it in your steps on “how to launch a web 2.0 app”.
However, I just wanted to clarify that we do have a filtering system where every release must be approved by TheWeblogWire.com Team before it is submitted on the site. If anyone tried to send out fifty million press releases on TheWeblogWire, they would not be very successful!
We appreciate and accept any unique and relevant press release that comes our way. It’s not that difficult to get approved by the Team, if you have a legit news release.
Sorry about that, Frank. That was definitely just a little bit of exaggeration on my part. TheWeblogWire is nonetheless a great service for bloggers/publicists. Best of luck!
Good picture but haven’t we been here before (dot com crash).
I would say this time around it’s a lot more refined. Most (not all) Internet companies these days are receiving investor funding only after proving that their company has value and a viable business model. This is not to say, however, that there is a ton of web 2.0 companies coming out with no business model whatsoever (maybe advertising, but I don’t consider that a very good model anymore).
