"I think that we’ll continue to see more companies like [Groupon] who will put us to shame a couple years from now with their rate of growth."<p>I firmly believe that this is correct. A lot of product pitches from current or previous Google employees start with the words, "there are 6.8 billion people in the world and this product solves a problem the majority of them have".<p>I think that in developing new products, we get so wrapped up in current trends and crazy valuations that we loose sight of just how quickly the majority of people continue to jump on the Internet bandwaggon.<p>A good number of folks will complete their first purchases online this holiday season, this realization alone makes me confident that the web is far from over and that there is room for a lot of bands beside 'N Sync and The Beatles.<p>While I may be tired of hearing about Groupon and their clones, I know that there are more companies just around the corner that will blow 6 Billion dollar valuations out of the water.
