Wired 14.02: Would You Buy a Used Dotcom from this Man?

Wired 14.02: Would You Buy a Used Dotcom from this Man?

I found this article as well as the research in this one particularly balanced and full of common sense. The Google effect is dragging a lot of other technology companies to the market, but with a much more rational approach this time than during the boom with it's crazy valuations. It is true that the Internet brought all the changes that those outdated business models where predicted. Only that it came a bit slower than we thought. Then, why not revisit those business models and see which would be valid now? Indeed, technology changes usually take longer to happen than we predict, but have more profound impacts than we expect.
