what's the net big thing?

Remember Alta Vista? Excite? Netscape? AOL? Every one of these - and so many more - were unstoppable just a few years ago. Now ask a kid about Ask Jeeves and they'll google it at best. Where will Youtube be in 3 years? MySpace? sure, they seem unbeatable today, but they could easily - and probably - be history by 2010.

I'm convinced MySpace will be usurped. The cool people will leave. I sense it's best before date is now. Someone is going to build a better flycatcher - at least for the next blip. fun times ahead.
