He does have some good points though. I do find myself wondering if all the good web application ideas have been done? I mean there must be a finite amount of useful things to put on the internet. I'd like to get everyone's thoughts on that, it's a worry I have.

Think of: "things to do with people and information". It may as well be infinite.
