I buy that.

Not necessarily. The web sector is growing and maturing and our skills
are in demand, but web-based models may be popular because they're so
much more productive. Those who work in the classifieds business
probably don't think the rise of Craigslist is good for the economy.
This is what they call "creative destruction", right? I wouldn't
expect trends in our industry to necessarily map to the larger
economy.
