Galitzine Takes on Dvorak

Greg Galitzine just published a great blog entry taking John Dvorak and other commentators to task for their supercilious attitude toward Internet Telephony -- see Greg's entry "Dear John."

Greg takes exception to the "dismissive nature with which mainstream folks — magazine columnists and laypeople alike — treat our nascent industry." This reminds me of the way many pundits were talking about the Internet as a marketing medium 10 years ago -- see my previous post, Amazon's 10 Years: E-Commerce Revolution Continues.

Back about 1993, I was working as staff writer for a university development office. I wanted to write an article about people on campus using the Internet, but my editor killed the idea with the comment, "Everybody's sick of hearing about the Internet."
