My in-laws gave me Monopoly: the .com Edition when I started at my first startup. We get a game going about once a year. The best part is that the denominations are HUGE. That's a part of the bubble they really captured well and leads to tons of unintentional humor during each game: bloated values of nothing companies bought with play money.

Agreed. You get $200m for passing go :-)

It's funny that GOOGLE isn't even part of that.

It's interesting to see how much the world has changed in 10 years and what's left of the companies that were hot back then.

Makes you wonder if the 'hot' companies today - facebook, twitter, myspace etc etc will be around in 10 years time, or will have fallen.

Given that the business models are largely the same, I doubt it.

The only thing that didn't change? Taxes...

I'm surprised by how many of these sites are still around.

Geocities is, but not for long! They're scheduling it to disappear on the 26th.
