In many ways, The Web 2.0 Summit is a paean to optimism. No matter how skeptical you are or how convinced you are that we’re in a tech bubble, it’s difficult to step out of a session without feeling energized or excited about something.
Yet the line from the day that is ringing loudest in my brain is one that top Radar sensor Tim O’Reilly said during his chat with eBay’s Meg Whitman: “This thing doesn’t go on forever.” In technology, innovation is always around and exciting. That doesn’t necessarily mean that the businesses out there capitalizing on that innovation (or even whole segments built on those innovations) will always grow and grow and grow.
