An End To The Dot Com Downturn

from the it's-coming... dept

A strange article at Techweb. First, they say that it looks like the dot com downturn could end in a month or two and then they proceed to give all the stats about the record layoffs in dot coms this month. The layoff story is appearing everywhere so I guess this is Techweb’s way of putting a twist on that story. There doesn’t seem to be much support in the article explaining why the dot com downturn may be ending. There are a few vague statements about the “learning curve” that companies have gone through, but that’s it. I guess they’re suggesting that all the fat has been trimmed. That might be wishful thinking.
