As an industry vet, he has "seen it all"...the hype and the hope for this space. No one has cracked the code to migrate SMB's to the Web....so much effort has been thrown at this, with newspapers, telco's mega online properties, media partnerships, niche sites, etc....you gotta think the only ones making the real money are web developers, hosting companies and attorneys. Let's hope that one of the positive effects of this down economy is the emergence of solid business models that make sense for all players. Mark is spot on.
