Dot-Com Backlash.

Dot-Com Backlash. The NY Times article published a few weeks ago about the demise and lay offs in the dot com world sparked many discussions in its technology forum. While some commiserated in their experiences, others taunted them for "selling their souls." The disconnect simply comes from a lack of knowledge of the real dot com experience and what the media has been touting in the years past. Those who ventured into the dot com world are not all of the same entity. They are not all millionnaire wannabes who cash out options upon vesting, nor are they all twenty year old managers. That said, however, I do feel that too much money was burned at dot coms where business plans simply sucked. The glass isn't empty yet, and I am looking forward to the next wave of new ideas. Until then, the dot goners can go here for some refuge.
