A startup can be successful even if it is a bad clone: FilesTube

filestubeBusinesshackers has become well know for criticizing instead of saying how great new 2.0 sites are. Today it will be the same. Just few words about FilesTube a site everyone is talking about.

Basically you write down what you are looking for and FilesTube finds files on the . Nothing special? Yes, nothing special.

I am bit tired of watching the same ideas being repeated hundreds of times. When I am writing this post I can assume there are at least 600 clones for examples, 60-70 of which I have visited at least once.

FIlesTube has got a catchy name that reminds me of , but apart from that I am very disappointed because it was supposed to be a great search engine for files.

Good isn’t the same as high quality products. If I were you I would use other sites instead including: RapidShared and ShareMiner. The first one has got annoying pop-ups, but it probably the best one anyway.

The funny thing is that this catchy url made the site popular. Have a look at the graph above, as it is self-explanatory.
