They don't anymore, they get bought out by already big companies.

Just look at the "New Economy" and "Online E-Commerce" sites.  2 years
ago the media was saying it was a whole new ballgame, that the old
"brick & mortar" stores couldn't compete.  2 years later the 'dot-com'
revolution is 'dot-compost', with all these small companies either going/gone
out of business or getting bought out.

Who's doing better, Amazon.com or BarnesAndNoble.com?  Yep, the
"brick & mortar" based B&N :)
