The author must had some success as he completely ignores how many google-wanna-bes are out there two or three years ago, and then the YouTube-wanna-bes, the Digg-wanna-bes ... There are always tons of dead-bodies in the wanna-bes.

I think the key is to avoid the "hot" wanna-be market. Google got into search when it's not hot. So is YouTube, java, digg ...

When google came out, search was already hot. Google made it hotter.

Search was NOT hot when Google came out. Lots of SMART people were convinced that you couldn't build a huge business on search and that the real money was in personalized home pages (portals).
