It's interesting how some internet startup concepts seem to keep coming back. Website building tools have gone through a number of generations, but are still relevant now. Similarly Facebook was the second wave of social networking sites. I recently saw a "pets.com" clone launching in South Africa (they got funding from Google's local seed fund)!
Marc Andreessen's aggressive stance is that the dot.com bubble was basically a "mistake". If that's correct, how would one decide that an "old" idea's time has come?
The concepts might have merit, but the challenge is many failed as sustainable and profitable businesses. Have that many underlying assumptions changed in 14 years? Probably not
