First, a technology/trend gets way too much buzz and results start to disappoint so it curves down. Then, when everyone's cynical, the real value companies start to take off.
Web 2.0 has used up its currency as a buzz word. Fine. But the technology itself has been wildly successful.
I work at HubPages.Com, a Web 2.0 startup that gets revenue from online ads and we have never been doing better than right now.
Thanks for your concern about HubPages. I personally don't believe in jinxes and even if I did, I'm not sure I would agree with your reasoning.
Are you saying that you are so sure of your viewpoint that Web 2.0 is dead that anyone who is doing well is lucky and if someone (me) takes this luck for granted, then the luck will go away.
HubPages is doing well because in this economy, revenue sharing web sites are a great way for people to make extra money. As long as businesses need to advertise and as long as online advertisement is a critical way to do this, web sites like HubPages will do fine.
