Is Web 2.0 Just Another Internet Bubble?

Is Web 2.0 just another internet bubble?

The people at Richter Scales seem to think so.

While the video is funny, I hope it’s not true!

Web2.0 is about content created by people, created for people and consumed by people. Web2.0 is the platform that makes this possible.
Internet bubble was more of a Wall Street phenomenon than technical one. Emotions taking over reasoning, leading to over valuation of businesses. Businesses that did not have any historical data to help make a sane judgment about future growth.
Web2.0 is going to stay. What will drive it ? Businesses. Advertising expenditure of the order of $6 billion growing at CAR of 18%. This is huge amount of money. This will drive Web2.0 and 3.0 and so on into future.
From a micro/end user perspective. One of the motivations for me and you to blog and create content online is earnings. Money earned from referrals, affiliates etc.
I guess it makes sense with both micro and macro perspective. How fast it’ll grow ? We’ll let Asia decide that.
