The big problem with the bubble in the 1990's was that people with no knowledge of what was going on were investing. Trading stocks over the internet was a new thing and people invested in crazy companies. This time around it's much more methodical. Great post btw.

Back then, the public in general were willing to throw money at just about anything. Since Web 2.0 companies fall into the high-risk category in terms of profitability, the chance of getting a fearless public to fund you is non-existent.
