>>my VC is Baine<< errr...that would be Bain, I think, if you are referring to Bain Capital. And of course, with a data universe of one company - yours - you know everything that is going on in the tech/VC world. I had dinner with some folks from Razorfish back in early 2000 - don't remember when exactly. It was a big bash for Boston University School of Management. Talk turned to what everyone did and I clearly remember the polite amusement of the Razorfish folks when they discovered I was an "old economy" guy. Well, you know the punchline. My point is - don't mistake the process for the outcome. We've had lots of creative destruction, but currently we are seeing more creation than destruction. (Post script: fuckedcompany.com was started by a former Razorfish employee who clearly lacks a sense of humor).
