Are the Roaring Nineties Back?

With money once again flowing into internet startups, and M&A activity in overdrive, it's starting to seem like the good old 1990s again.

I can't remember the last time so much activity was happening in the web space. Every day there seems to be another new startup touting a new twist on RSS, blogs or search technology that promises to (once again!) revolutionize the web. Every other day an established company is buying out a young stud while expanding their empire.

About once week a major portal introduces a cool new feature like Google's unbelievable map service this week. Every quarter or so, an internet-based company releases startling record revenues.

Search engine marketing is maturing. Best practices are being established in all aspects of e-business, which will help bring more companies into the fold, furthering the network effect of adoption. A majority of internet users now connect through high-speed connections that promise to fulfill the potential of voice over IP, online video and many other long-awaited technologies.

So, in honor of the internet's resurgence, here's a proud middle finger to the chumps at F'd Company and all the business mags who said it would never happen.

The internet is now the center of the business and entertainment world. Get used to it!
