SJ Mercury: "For the past two years, it seemed anybody with an idea and the slightest ambition could slap up a Web page and six months later go public and be worth millions." Of course, that was never really true other than in the press. It was easier before, yes. But it still took incredibly hard work, not to mention stellar luck. The real difference now, perhaps, is that you have to apply that hard work and great luck to a great idea with a feasible business behind it. Good news, IMHO.
