Every industry online follows the power curve, there are a very few at the top and the rest are in the long tail. It is mathematically impossible for hundreds of thousands of people to make a living writing blogs as calicanis suggests. If that were the case then there would be people making hundreds of millions a year writing blogs if we plotted this on the power distribution curve. It seems that all this web 2.0 hype is causing people to lose common sense. I think meckler is right.

I've worked for him (twice). And I've cashed out twice. And although I have no clue what he's really doing with the imaging businesses, I'd put money on the guy again. Maybe he is wrong. Maybe the fat lady has sung. But I wouldn't be surprised if Alan gets the last laugh anyway.

The difference? alan was stuck in a tunnel view of a limited segment of his business. locke imagined what was possible on the net. And by the way, I'm not sure, did anyone hear a fat lady sing?
