I keep wondering how much of a domino affect the dot com closures will have. There are fewer sites to design and maintain, fewer colocation facilities and bandwidth to be used, fewer deliveries to be made, less advertising to do. But I figure these are probably not significant drops in the new Internet commerce bucket. Or are they? And I’m still trying to figure out why some of these companies had hundreds of employees. What were they all doing (besides bleeding the VCs dry?). I suppose I come from the frugal startup days of the early ’90s. I just can’t relate.
