I agree that there is a lot of innovation and development happening in the online space, but that innovation doesn't always seem to play a primary role in driving the economy the way pre-web innovation did. Innovation seems to often happen more quickly, in smaller increments, and in more closed social circles nowadays. On an unrelated note, thank you for renaming the new Blackberry to something with more legs. I blogged a little rant on that earlier this week. I'll buy a "Bolt" over a "Bold" any day of the week!

I noticed an article on Adage.com stating that P&G also just announced that they're shifting 10% of their $3.5 billion budget online. Even if only 10% of that money goes to companies other than the big 3 search engines that's still a lot more money in the pot to fund what everyone is doing! Great points Mark.
