Huff and puff and blow that bubble up

Huff and puff and blow that bubble up

: I want to nod my head and agree with everything in this quote until I remind myself that it comes from Mark Andreesen, with whom I would not invest my passbook account. But I did like the quote anyway:

The economics of the Internet have undergone something like a thousand-times swing. If you’re going to launch an Internet site or an Internet business today, it’s probably going to cost about a tenth of what it would have cost five years ago, but you’re going to have 10 times more consumers you can address and probably 10 times the advertising revenue. There’s a seriousness and commitment and dedication and effort and investment going into it now that is a lot more interesting and a lot more real than what was happening in the ’90s.

Somebody have a pin?

    Mark Andreesen? You mean the guy who helped bring about the birth of the World Wide Web in the very early 90s?

    Just because Andreesen led the development of the most popular early graphical web browser (I say “most popular” and not “best”, as IMO Tom Bruce’s Cello was superior in most ways) doesn’t mean that he has any business acumen. Netscape at one time was a browser, a portal, a server solution, a toothpaste, and a floor wax; not much remains of them in any of those markets today.
