Facebook makes it fun, and doesn't take itself seriously. Plus, the app dimension is brilliant, IMO.

]]> Comment on What really happened in the dot-com bubble? by paras bhargava http://sprague.wordpress.com/2006/11/08/what-really-happened-in-the-dot-com-bubble/#comment-256 paras bhargava Wed, 28 Nov 2007 13:03:18 +0000 http://sprague.wordpress.com/2006/11/08/what-really-happened-in-the-dot-com-bubble/#comment-256 Richard, I tracked the telecom bubble. One interesting Urban Myth that fueled the bubble was the story that bandwidth demand was doubling every quarter. This story apparantley started at UUNET. bandwidth demand may have doubled every quarter in 1994 or 1995, but then seemed to double every year. Well based on bandwidth doubling every quarter a whole bunch of long haul companies were funded (Level 3, qwest, williams, 360 networks, worldcom) and their suppliers benefited (nortel, JDSU etc). when this myth imploded, the suppliers went bust. The current commodoties boom is based on demand from China. I wonder how much of the demand actually comes from US housing. When US housing goes bust, will commodoties follow? Richard,

Also, because there is a learning curve for every new site that one may decide to use, I have gotten tired of familiarizing myself with each new site. Consequently, I have decided to make this my permanent user site and forget about re-learning the particulas of some new site.
