Even with Coke and Pepsi, there are still room for more, even smaller sodas like Jones. In the web world what's different now from 1999 is that investors aren't going to throw their money at ideas about new business. It's going to go to people with proven track records and solid business plans as it should have been in the first place. Now more so than 1999, we are seeing more startups made up of just a few people, usually self-funded, creating applications so that by the time they sell, they have something of value. In most cases, as you mentioned, these people have created something not to make money, but out of passion or simply to solve a problem they need solved. I agree with your assessment.
