@benfry I was there Gandalf, 3000 years ago....
I had m own Internet startup during the dot.com hype. Funny money times. Don't know how many people wanted to buy us...
Yeah, it smells a lot like back then on steroids.

@masek Same! Though I was just out of school and working at Netscape and watching it implode. (I wound up leaving for grad school and watched the last days before the dot com bust from Boston.) I'm nervous about the way that this moment feels like that, in a way almost multiplied by the financial crisis moment, simply for the outrageous amount of money involved. If you take away the Magnificent Seven companies, the stock market has a very different picture, and any sort of correction is going to be especially ugly.
