The Industry Standard Stamps Fail On The Chumby And 9 Other Companies
by Allen Stern on March 31st, 2008
The Industry Standard has posted a list of "10 ‘Net services that will succeed and 10 that will probably fail". They apparently are more sure of the successes than the failures.
To view all 20 companies, you need to provide The Industry Standard with 20 pageviews for Intel. You can enter your predictions into their prediction market as well.
Here are the companies on each list. Do you agree or disagree?
Will Succeed:
- Trulia
- SceneCaster
- CafeScribe
- OverlayTV
- Fav.or.it – Mashable wrote about them today
- Hulu
- Huddle
- Kaltura
- ModiFace
- Cognitive Code
Will Probably Not Succeed:
- Joost
- Zillow
- Chumby – just got funding today
- eCirkit
- Flock
- Spock
- Jobster
- Squidoo
- Second Life







Too Funny! The best part of your post is that you point out “To view all 20 companies, you need to provide The Industry Standard with 20 pageviews for Intel.”
What a worthless way to go through their ranking. I wasted time earlier today after reading your 1st post about the equally worthless Chumby. (Although I didn’t notice the Intel Ads.)
We have a Chumby in our office and 8 out of 8 say it is a FAIL.
