He does have some good points though. I do find myself wondering if all the good web application ideas have been done? I mean there must be a finite amount of useful things to put on the internet. I'd like to get everyone's thoughts on that, it's a worry I have.

Only in the sense of finite like there is a finite amount of computation that the universe is capable of: http://www.americanscientist.org/template/BookReviewTypeDetail/assetid/51924

And, "things to put on the internet" isn't that right way to think of it. Think of: "things to do with people and information". It may as well be infinite.

That's a very inspiring way to look at it. I'm starting to feel better :-)

There are a ton of great web applications that doesn't exist yet - you can't think of any because they're not there yet (and having original ideas is difficult)
