By Mark Evans | Published: May 27, 2008
The Financial Times has story – Web 2.0 fails to produce cash – that’s a bit of a head-scratcher. It includes these quotes: “There is going to be a shake-out here in the next year or two” as many Web 2.0 companies disappear, said Roger Lee, a partner at Battery Ventures. “If you look at some of the [...]
