However I think what the article is identifying is that we are moving from the net-geeks being excited to business being excited. The internet was sexy and fun well before y2k, web2.0 and other such buzz. When business can appreciate, measure, and gain value from what the net-geeks are talking about is when the geeks are already looking past it, onto the next thing. Tis the way of the world. [sarcasm] SEO is understood, Blogs are apparently out of date, and now Social networks no longer get venture capital for creating an icon and reflective homepage. Soon the universe will implode as a marketing guru understands why service based model are good too.
