We are the players of the web 2.0 game. However, what does it mean for us to be Web 2.0? I thought web 2.0 was about being honest, open, transparent, just the good ole’ “don’t be evil.” So I want to call out one of our competitors and a company that is only Web 2.0 in image and not in practice. About a week ago Matt Douglas, CEO of Mypunchbowl wrote a Groundhog Day article. In the article he writes:

“Co-hosts: By far, one of the best features of MyPunchbowl is the ability to have co-hosts. I wish every MyPunchbowl user knew about this feature. As far as I know, we’re the only party planning website to offer true co-hosting. I made my wife a co-host and she’s been able to keep track of the guest list and party checklist by logging into her own account. Awesome.”

For the record, that is a complete lie. Mypunchbowl is not the only ones that have co-hosts. They have invented what Planypus, for example, had since inception. So I replied to Matt’s blog. I wanted to explain that fact and set the record straight.

Does Matt publish my comment? No. Why? I don’t know this is not even the first time Matt did not publish my comments. I wanted to give Matt a few days to put up my comment, however it’s no where to be seen. In fact, the only comment on Mypunchbowl is a comment praising them, meaning that they do read comments and moderate them. What are you scared of Matt? I though Web 2.0 was all about being open? Why do you lie to your users, your readers, and are too scared to let them hear the truth.

Go ahead Matt Douglas, reply to my blog, don’t worry, unlike you I will publish your comments.
