.Com Fever, Is it really over?


I notice that the media are now trumpetting the fact that .com fever

is over and judging by the number of companies dumping the .com suffix

from their names maybe it is.

IMHO.....Nope - just like any other emerging industry that has had a major

impact over the past 100 years, it is going into the "wheat from chaff"

stage - though in keeping with the internet industry, somewhat faster than

others.


Having just flown back from the States, I was reminded of a comment made by

Andrew Neil at a conference recently....."none of the airlines that existed

pre 1960 exist today in their original format"


Watch the dross waste away, along with the poorly managed businesses and

expect the strong to get stronger, newcomers to learn from the mistakes of

others (well some hopefully) and the share price to do the same.


Naturally this will have a major impact on governments revenues as I am

certain that Gordon Brown was putting up the tax on cigarettes purely

because the back of a packet seemed de-rigeur for many a .com business plan

:)
