Rupert Murdoch says the Internet will destroy more businesses than it creates. But so far, there's not much evidence for that. U.S. business failure rates are the lowest they've been in years. I wonder how many Internet-centered businesses (as opposed to those who merely use the Internet) will survive the end of the IPO mania.
