It's like entrepreneurs no longer worry about their audience, but assume that everyone wants a social network as a part of everything. All the while, no one is building new web apps that will appeal to the large part of the web community that isn't super tech oriented. See the "sheep" post below. Web 2.0 has real uses and possibilities, but, believe or not, there are lots of people that really don't care about connecting and sharing stuff online - they just want easy tools to make them more productive. And of course, it's funny to point out that someone would start an "old media" business when "new media" is all the hype - and he's making money while most new media companies aren't.
