Many hours go into non-funded projects and of course these people hope that their project will get picked up by VCs or big companies. I think that when investment funds dry out, most of these projects will be killed and the guys and girls will go back to work for bigger companies. @Sjors I think you’re right.

All those people working over hours on their web project, coding in the weekend, and during vacation, in the hope that they will be next to be bought by google? Or if you make the view even broader, those people who invested all their hours in blogs no-one will read, or make videos for Youtube no-one will see. I understand "the system" needs this waste of human labour in order to create quality out of quantity. But still there seems to be some kind of an expectation bubble in those who work on it.

So please, you entrepreneurs out there, have a daily reality check, so we can claim that the web 2.0 bubble will always stay a pessimistic view and nothing more.
