I think the big difference between today and 1999 was that back then so many people didn't know what they were doing. Companies spent tons of money to not see results and you had tons of warm bodies filling seats with no real biz plan in sight. Also without broadband being everywhere there was a ton of speculation about what would happen next. So as much as I do feel like we're in a bubble of sorts -- it still doesn't feel as crazy as the first dot.com bust because people do seem to know what they're doing just a bit more.


Even if everyone is skilled, there can still only be one #1.
