However, what I'd like to see more of is some of these neat feature/companies that really leverage the whole primordial soup that we've come to know as Web2 develop into real businesses. If the big change ends up being that VCs are displaced because starting a startup just means cooking a prototype until a bog portal co. takes you out for $5-7MM, I'm not sure sure we are left in a better place than where we started. That is, I'm not sure you could get the next Apple, or Microsoft out on an environment like that.Antonio RodriguezSun, 28 May 2006 11:55:57 -0000
