The New New Economy: Is 2005 the next 1995? March 13, 2005

From the site:
"Things have been stirring in San Francisco. The South Park area, headquarters of Wired and locus of the dotcom book the last time around, almost empty for the last 4 years, is starting to fill up again. In every coffee shop, you hear entrepreneurs discussing their startup opportunities. New ideas and new distributed technologies like rss, web services, social networks, and mobile applications are gaining prominence -- and getting venture capital funding to support them. Silicon Valley is back on the upswing.

Of course, given how things went last time, maybe that's a little troubling. Will things work out better now, or are we looking at the next dotcom boom and bust? Was the Google IPO a bellwether of the times, like the Netscape IPO before it? Is 2005 the new 1995? This panel assembles entrepreneurs new and old, silicon valley veterans, venture capitalists and technology journalists to talk about what they learned from the dot com era, and what (if anything) they're doing differently this time around."
