Here’s one of those “end of an era” things:
America Online co-founder Steve Case resigned from the board of Time Warner Inc., five years after the media giant’s painful merger with the Internet service he helped create.
The AOL takeover of Time/Warner was emblematic of the irrational exuberance of the dot com bubble (some would say “swindle”), and Case’s departure from the TW board says dot com foolishness is all over.
OK, let’s get on with VoIP and home media networks.
Don’t forget podcasting, vlogging and Web 2.0. Gotta cover all the bases.
Indeed. They’re talking about Wikipedia and Web 2.0 on NPR today, so it’s definitely out among the unwashed masses.
