Bubble 2.0: What are your predictions?

2 pointsby aginnabout 14 years ago
Internet is an interesting market. Here are some of my thoughts.<p>-Consumer is rather independent and unexposed to a Bubble bursting. They would just have less options to choose from for online services -Most Web companies are still private -VCs and mystery VC financiers have the greatest financial exposure - "Fluff" companies that are copy cats or have no business model other than "hot potatoe" valuations have a huge exposure.<p>Here are some of my predictions -The bubble will burst in 2013 but, it will be a soft landing. The downward cycle will be very short. -Consumers will continue to demand more from internet companies. -Mashable will only publish 30 articles a day rather than 100 -Google will not have a talent shortage anymore -Capital will dry up for social web and move into other verticals -Small impact on the overall US economy -Twitter will be worth $250 million<p>Overall, I think the downward cycle will be shorter than the previous one. It seems that the internet just makes everything go faster, including business cycles. It is almost unfettered capitalism.<p>I am looking for other people's opinions and predictions.
