37 Signals has a new, excellent podcast.  I highly recommend it.  Simply a group of entrepreneurs discussing interesting topics.  The latest piece (as of this post, episode 2) found here, addresses the interesting actions and valuations of tech 2.0 companies.  That is, they often forgo revenue for massive growth, tons of venture capital and astronomical valuations that make you question “Is the value really there?” This is interesting as I’ve asked this many times, only to be scorned for questioning the all-seeing powers at be, whoever they are…  Is Twitter really worth $1 BILLION?  If they began seeing revenues, would this valuation actually drop?  Interesting stuff… go check out the podcast here. and decide for yourself…  are they over-kill on pessimism or right on the money?  I personally like twitter (as do they) among other services but do I like them $1Billion?
