But as I scanned the room last night and watched those friends of mine, I realized that each of them was now involved in an Internet startup in some way or another. I then thought about the rest of my Marin pals, and realized that nearly every one of them is either running or considering running an Internet startup. Only thing is, to them it's not about "starting an Internet company." Instead, it's about innovating in their chosen field. And to do so, they of course are leveraging the Internet as platform. The world is pivoting, and the axis is the industry we've built. This is what we meant when we chose "Web Meets World" for the theme of the 2008 Web 2 Summit, but it's really happening now, at least in my world. I'm curious if it's happening in yours.
Is it happening in your world?
