I remember riding on the 23rd St crosstown bus in Manhattan sometime in the first month or two of 2000 - just before the Nasdaq peak - and down to my left on Broadway was a DoubleClick sign welcoming everyone to Silicon Alley, and to my right was a Forbes Capitalist Tool billboard. It was a heady moment. It was all gone a year later.
