4. Power To The People To us, this appears to be one of the great constants of the web. It is taking power away from existing large institutions and pushing it out to smaller entities and often all the way to individuals. In the process it is building up new institutions (such as Google), but the net result appears to be a distinct shift of “power to the people.” http://www.unionsquareventures.com/2008/09/power_to_the_pe_1.html

5. Capital Efficiency It takes about 1/10th the hardware, software, bandwidth, storage, and other expenses to build a web service compared to what it took in the 1999/2000 time period. That was before services like Amazon Web Services, Google App Engine, 10Gen, and other "cloud computing" platforms emerged as real options. It's gotten even less expensive now. http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2008/10/capital-efficie.html
