Is the Next Great Wave of Internet IPOs About to Hit?

The last big wave of Internet initial public offerings happened a decade ago. Some think the next great wave is about to break. Facebook, Twitter, Zynga, Groupon,Facebook, LinkedIn, Yelp, Hulu and eHarmony are some of the possible candidates to lead the wave.

That likely is going to bring more luster to the Internet stock sector, app venture capital activity, some predict. Some likely will argue a second great IPO bubble would be a more-apt description. Either way, it is possible that the next generation of Internet leaders will be funded in the wake of any IPO wave.

We might not see the full impact of those start-ups for as much as another decade. The trick, one might argue, is not to get "bubbled" by the possible wave.

When Was the Last Time 40% of all Humans Shared Something, Together?

I miss these sorts of huge global events where 40 percent of living humans share a chance to build something for others.
