Some reflections on 2000 and predictions for 2001 (with a focus on the Internet) by Dave Pell of Davenetics. Amidst all the doom and gloom articles being written out there, Dave's commentary is among the most even-handed and insightful that I've read:
"Email will become the killerer app. It continued to work when all else failed. Communication - not consumer storefronts - is the core value provided by the net and email is the star. The best things on the net make things easier and faster. Seems simple, but many of the failed business propositions of the past year seemed to go in the opposite direction."
