Mayo615's French Odyssey Week 22 Report - Web Apps

Hello! 
And welcome to the Week 22 Update of Mayo615’s Odyssey to France and how to turn Big Ideas into Big Realities.  My topic this week is Web apps, and why finding a Bigger Idea may be a better idea.
Web app development is yet another case of the 1% versus the 99%. Only one percent of Web app developers have made any real money, the other ninety-nine percent are out of luck.  Almost half of the 99%, make absolutely no money or less than $100 on their app. Not surprisingly there are now literally millions of apps out there, and when you add all the other sources for apps, you can see that the problem is only getting worse. I saw this coming years ago and wrote about the problem on my blog, mayo615, citing a New York Times story published about that time, describing the dark underbelly of the Web app development culture.  Last year the satirical website The Onion published a gag story about a new app called “Squander” that enabled users to “geolocate others nearby who had also wasted their money on the same app.”. 
Remember that my website, mayo615.com has over 400 posts on a wide range of management and technology topics, including web app development.
That’s my management update for this week. We look forward to your comments and questions. We will respond to all comments and may feature comments in our update videos. If you like what you see here, recommend us to others and click here to SUBSCRIBE NOW
