Yea! The next internet bubble is starting to form! I was excited for the "web 2.0" bubble, but it seems to have run out of steam (aka "naive investors") before it really got big.

Should we take bets on when "cloud 2.0" hits? I say 2 years: 6 months for the current investors to get their infrastructure in place, 6 months to ramp up the marketing, 6 months for people to actually start using it, 6 months for everybody to realize why it isn't the ultimate solution to everything. Then bam! "Cloud 2.0, your application only uses the cloud to sync, the original data STAYS ON YOUR COMPUTER incase you don't have internet access or the cloud is off line!"
