The .com group was in some part guilty of the same type of thinking. I agree with Randy that part of the problem is that the majority of the Web 2.0 Group are not businessmen. I also belive that contributing to this attitude is the fact that there are investors who will put up substantial funds without requiring a substainable revenue stream plan based upon something other then just ad revenue. As far as EBay's move to prevent Google's Checkout Service, they have every right to run their business the way they want to.

Of course, most of the Web 2.0 group think are engineers, not businessmen. Excellent post. Of course, most of the Web 2.0 group think are engineers, not businessmen.
