You can only appreciate disruption after a while, not on the instant. Google was *just* another engine at the time and then we realised it was more than that. So there are likely to be lots of exciting and new things happening right now, but we haven't realised it yet.

Internet is indeed only beginning (mobile, geolocalization, rfid), but the web - and especially web 2.0 - is really boring imho That’s the exact reason why I was careful to speak about the Web industry, not the internet industry.

I do not think that the revolution is over, it just began, for many things. You mentionned Rafi speach, but his toy would mean nothing without the internet. All those new things are worthless without a network... Your post, make me think about Janus Friis speech at Leweb3 who told, that going to conferences is very time consuming and he like more going to office and build new and exciting stuff. There are many bloggers, that just write about evolution, revolution, but those guys, sometime, should stop blogging and face the real stuff. I am thinking about one french entrepreneur: Stephane Thomas, spending his time blogging around entrepreneurship, but his product, after 1 year and half(since october 2006!!), is not visible at all!!! 1 one year and half, is like almost five years in a traditional industry, so he should blog a little less, and work a little bit more...
