This was a good post and it has changed some of my perspective about some of this stuff and the safety we have on the internet. We need to be able to have a decent foundation and we if we dont have that we need to have a good foundation repair before we talk about other things.

To get a perspective on that part of the US where internet startups aren't part of the social conversation, read this. While not everyone has so little money to spend, I know a lot of middle class people who have no extra money to go out to eat, see a doctor, etc. Daily Kos: I want my f*#%ing life back

This did indeed resonate. I am in the process of completely changing the mission and approach of a mid-cap food and beverage company. I am endeavoring to take a company that creates and markets food products, to a company that creates digital destinations packed with tools to address need states (heart health, weight management, allergies, etc), with the food and beverage products being just a few of those many tools. Your friend Dr. Smith and I should talk. Feel free to give him my email.
Thanks for the post.

Great write-up! There are no reaction frightened entrepreneurs in the web economy. You're so right John, the convergence of people, ideas, talent and businesses derived from the internet is redefining our lives and growth opportunities!

Of course, you’re only sampling people you know, who presumably have had “face time” with yourself, and while you expound your views on the state of tech and opportunities presented by the Internet, you’re educating these smart folks in how they could leverage the platform to innovate in their space.

Don’t underestimate the power of passionately talking about what you do at these parties you attend/throw

I can’t agree with you any more. Yes the world is in an internet startup now.

There’s a valid point in what you write — it’s well-observed. But, unfortunately for us, you aren’t “the world”. We aren’t living up there in Marin meeting and befriending smart folks. We haven’t “made enough money several times over to live a very good life.” As much as we may applaud those who can, we aren’t “redefining standards of medical practice.”

We’re just paying the rent, plus $50/month for online access to blogs like yours.

your "internet start up world" hasn't gotten to New Orleans/my circle of friends yet, if it ever will.
Who is going to write the companion piece to this, talking about the digital divide?
