Disruptor Alert: Intro

I’m thrilled that we have the new VoodooVentures.com up and running…and that it’s a blog! We have so many things going on, and we want to tell you guys about all of them, so this new unified blog is going to be perfect for this. We have a lot of plans for the blog, and one of them is to regularly post our analysis on certain topics (think: newspaper columns). I’ve been intrigued by Web 2.0, specifically where 2.0 is taking us all. 2.0 is a trendy name that I think a lot of people are moving away from. However, I feel like they’re (we’re) moving toward a more descriptive moniker, “disruptor.”

I find Disruptors fascinating, not only because we’re trying to disrupt some things, but because the act of disrupting means you are changing something forever. Forever, that’s a long time. We’re talking generational changes, or getting whole populations of people to do things differently (again) forever. This phenomenon shouldn’t surprise any of us. The Web is more accessible now than it has ever been — it’s cheap, it’s fast, it’s all-consuming.

The Disruptor Alert is going to be a Post Series where we’ll pop-up and offer our analysis anytime we see a disruptor on our radar.
