Is the Tech Rush Dead?

Call me Nietzsche, but I used to read TechCrunch, VentureBeat, and the likes diligently. I became disenchanted with tech after a stint in the bay area and moved on to other things.

Point of my post: slow day at work and I cruised over the websites I used to read multiple times a day - the headlines are dominated by big tech. No more 20 million here, 10 million there, it's all about Google's new phone or Facebook's creepy big brother home camera that follows you... It seems like the party is over, especially after visiting the bay area again recently and keeping in touch with friends who live there. Any differing opinions?

I think probably a function of the industry maturing a bit and those sites getting smarter at what drives the most traffic... I wouldn't be surprised if less than 15% of the traffic to those sites actually comes in from the home page, so seeing what they choose to put front and center is still kind of secondary to page structure and other navigational consideration.

That being said, I still think the rush is ongoing...especially as compared to finance and IB in particular.

Interested to hear other opinions on this as well (I'm in a WSO bubble, so who knows :-)
