The IPOs of Web 2.0, being acquired by one of the GEMAYA companies

Posted in Uncategorized on Dec 23, 2005

Many people claimed that we are not in a Bubble 2.0 era because of the lack of IPOs of companies with no business model and no revenue like it happened in Web/Bubble 1.0. My theory has been that the string of acquisitions of companies without business model or revenue by any of the GEMAYA companies (Google/eBay/Microsoft/Amazon/Yahoo/AOL I think that the original acronym was started by Paul Montgomery in his Tin Finger blog and I like it very much) is the equivalent of the IPOs before and recent deli.cio.us acquisiton by Yahoo!! provides evidence in that direction. Who else is next? Six Apart? Digg? Memeorandum? Technorati?

    I am the director for Internet and Multimedia for Telefónica R&D, based in Barcelona where I managed their R&D center. I have been a bit all over the place for the last 15 years, specially in Tokyo, my favorite town, and finally came back in mid 2006 to my home town. I like everything that has to do with the Internet, computers, software and gadgets, not just the geeky aspect but also the business side. I also love reading (business essays mainly) and TV series and movies as well as having a good dinner and night out with my friends.
