The boom of 2000 was all big business and investors who saw the Internet for the first time as a viable revenue producing instrument. During 1999 everyone was talking about how they were going to get into the Internet once they became Y2K compliant.
The boom was everyone getting into the game. The bust was because most did not understand this new thing called the Internet.

Re the economy: Likely it increases sales. People are looking to make money, start new businesses, expand the current business, etc. Plus people who get laid off have time. For $3/Mo. you can start a / put your business on online. Remember the last .com boom happened after the economic crash of the late 80's.

What about the economy? Could that lead to a loss of business?

Steven,
Everyone "projects" onto others what they feel themselves at first onion layer. Some of us can identify our feelings (jealousy, or another of the 7 deadlies) and extract gossip from fact to understanding of process and duties in technical professions and shops.
At GoDaddy.com ticket hockey is a large part of most of the jobs, requiring a specific type of conformist.
Their top linux people and developers are deeply involved; they allow little creative thought or engineering direction from the mass of employees.
It's their culture. Unfortunately GoDaddy.com has dropped in the hosting rankings over the last few years, perhaps due to inability to innovate, poor support for common users, and management shakeups.

James, that's a strange conclusion to draw from one (years old) anecdote.
