I fully agree with Nic.

"Greed is right.

Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms -- greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge -- has marked the upward surge of mankind." G.Gekko

Heh heh. I think there probably was 200 people there, and I wish some more people would do those start-ups. To do this well you need to change the current ad model on it's head though - advertising becomes centred round the user instead of centred around sites. So it is a big change, and unfortunately half measures won't work.

Interesting thoughts. So then why on earth isn't someone doing an identity startup around greed!? I here greed is good - or maybe that was just in the 80s. And was there really 200 people there?
