John Dvorak of PCMag foresees the end of the web 2.0 bubble. Some agree with his main argument while wondering when the crisis will really take place, but others dismiss the claim.
I am not sure about this. There clearly ia a lot of talk these days about web 2.0, too much talk (and this blog is guilty as charged). However, social networking applications have not yet pervaded all business, the way e-commerce was doing in the mid- to late 1990's. Also, today's successful start-ups do not go public. They are being acquired by bigger companies. Cases in point: Google's appetite and the so-far unuccessful seduction danse of many Facebook suitors.
