As recruiting good quality talent becomes harder and it becomes cheaper and easier to build a web application, the only competitive advantage left to entrepreneurs who are genuinely going to create value is savvy product sense and the ability to actually exploit a business opportunity.

I don't believe we're in a bubble (in the sense of a liquidity event) - but certainly the number of people who have never before considered starting a web business who are wanting to give it a go are coming back again.

Those people are here to stay for as long there are startups who make succesful exits and get talked about. The process looks so damn easy. Make a small app quickly using a nice platform like rails in only a few weeks and then flip it for millions. Why wouldnt you give it a try?
