Why Most DOT.COMS Will Fail

John:

(Even though it is pointless --- in this dot.com at least you have not interacted in the past -- wonder why Chowk persists with those writers who play dead? It is not original --- mean playing dead.)

Using the yardstick you so graciously supplied in your last article here is the gist. Hope you don’t mind if I changed sopme phrases:)



Why Most DOT.COMS Will Fail

by John Joss

Venture capitalists think business model is for cynics, who know the cost of everything and the value of nothing. (Thanks for using my line from the précis to your last article:))

Proliferation of good dot.com ideas is drying up. VC’s odd are increasing. Today the market weeds out weaker participants much faster.

dot.com take off will stabilize and even peter out by 2005. Millions of investors will be left holding the bag.

Success demands customer mind-heart links. Consensual greed takes it royally in the posterior! Once euphoria evaporates, men with gold who make the golden rules will appear and clean out the carcass.

Dinosaurs reappear in the shape of multi-national conglomerates. Small animals are sucked up at an alarming rate. Big is better. And bigger is even better. Greedy investors buy your burgers now.
