But once the dust settles, and it is starting to settle at a very rapid rate, I'm betting that the old rules will once again apply. If Amazon has proved anything, it's that a business cannot succeed solely within the electronic haze of cyberspace. Even the likes of Walmart and KMart has so far been unable to make a go of things from a Cyberspace only perspective. On the other hand, lots of brick and mortar businesses that simply extended their reach into cyberspace, are making money and lots of it as a direct result of the cyberspace aspect of their presence. The line is a fine one, but it can been seen if one just looks closely.
Business is business.
Once the 'gold rush' like facade dims businesses will go back to the business of conducting business with businesses that are important enough for their owners to have invested in. By hosting them here we control the single most important aspect of our business, the business itself. That's my opinion. Your's may very.
