>Cost of creating a company (and associated technology) is down over 90% from what it was back when a lot of these companies were started.
The costs in terms of equipment and developer talent may be smaller than they were in the mid-late 90s, but the market is much more crowded now. I don't know that those savings aren't offset by the required marketing and PR efforts necessary to differentiate your company from all of its other "social web 2.0 tweet-a-riffic" competitors.
