'tis not free booze

from my inbox (mbites newsletter)
Internet World in London kicks off today. The Guardian uses the
opportunity to brand the event "a sobering showcase of the dotcom
survivors". How nice of them. Sean Phelan, the unassuming founder
of Multimap.com which was literally founded in his back-bedroom,
gets a look-in as one of the newly-trendy, small, but well-run
Internet companies. Well, it's not as if many of the large,
badly-run ones are still around. Of course these surviving firms
were small and (sometimes) profitable back in 1998, long before
the boom. However, the Guardian rather runs away with itself,
branding the three-day event as marking "the coming of age of the
entire industry in this country". Some might say this is still a
little way off - given that most IT budgets now resemble
dustbowls. Apparently a poll of several hundred exhibitors taken
by Penton Media shows that 73% are optimistic about the
industry's future. But since Penton is organising Internet World
and would never release a *bad* survey, we'll have to take that
one with a little salt. However, at the least the Guardian can
point to Lastminute's very grown-up deal with Lufthansa
yesterday. Hooray.
