You have made it nearly impossible for a person to enjoy the hobby of being an internet webcaster at the smaller end. Most of us do not have the millions to spend on something we truly love, its not just business to most of us, its a passionate hobby.

Mark you are the reason why people like us small webcasters now struggle to stay on the air. Why dont you do some good for the webcasting hobbyist to make up for what you have been mainly responsible for ruining? Or are you to busy jet setting to remember how you first started?

I’m afraid the good old days won’t ever return again. People like Mark will be remembered as a once in a millenium occurrence that worked hard but ended up being lucky because of market conditions more than anything else. Most investment capital for technology companies is now flowing to India and China for good reason. Its much cheaper to do business there and the growth prospects are much better in those countries. Large companies have also figured out that the name of game is buying up a small company before the price bcomes to prohibitive. That’s the biggest lesson they learned from the dot-com frenzy.

I have nothing for admiration for Marc and you all can bitch and whine all you want. The truth is you’d love to be in his shoes. Yes he had a sound business model and excellent idea and YES he was able to commercialize? Through this blog I think Marc opens up his brain and shares his thoughts so instead of picking it all you do is whine & bitch. Grow up get a life and maybe one day you’ll get to be successful too…. People like you should be banned from the blogspace alltogether..

Back to original toping – another excellent write-up by reading this I felt the same excitement as you (although my bank a/c is a few $mns short) LOL
