RE: UKNM: Dot Com Fever

I thought it was complete and utter garbage. Not only did I interrupt my

brand new Star Wars video to watch it (yeah sad ok), but after the program

ended I kinda wondered what it was all about.


There was no incite into any real reasons for supposed over-valuation and I

found the presenter to be the most obnoxious ****** I have had the

misfortune to view. Where did he get off with the "thats not original

comment" - what business truly is original these days? and how about the

classic "...so you're going to take 5 years to make a profit..thats not a

very good investment" comment. Why oh why does an institution like the BBC,

which with it's combined sites being the most popular destination in the UK,

not give these presenters some idea of the market and produce an informed

programme.


For me, all it did was give a couple of companies a free mini documentary

and quite a few others the only advertising they will ever get on the BBC!!

Oh and a chance to slate the Mirror. All the comments that were made could

be equally applied to any business sector - and ramping stocks has been

around since the very first IPO. Sensationalism gone mad would have been a

better title.


Just put me in a room with that presenter and a light sabre :)

What did we all think of the programme then?


I particularly liked the 3 chaps who were looking for £0.5m funding for a

mainstream, b2c & b2b renting & selling property web service, who stated in

a presentation to a VC that the £0.5m seed financing would fund all the

online and offline marketing / development.
