Was over at Techcrunch looking at their coverage of the demise of Netscape Navigator – the formerly dominant browser which in February will be discontinued, and found in the “Deadpool” the demise of Teqlo.
It reminded me of something that I have always mentioned to people when they’re rolling out new sites – you can use third party content to spice things up, but you need to have unique, compelling content to make money. That costs, but so does developing integration and everything else. There really isn’t the thought put into creating the content with some many folks, as they want the site they do once and then let it be to make them money.
I’ve covered this a little bit in the past – but Teqlo is great proof that in order to stand out, you need to be the content originator or value provider with your site in some way.
