Very recently, I asked a question on Friendfeed:
Does anyone know: What “percentage” of Web 2.0 companies are paying back satisfactory ROI to their investors? If you are equally passionate about food and technology, would you rather open a restaurant or a Web 2.0 service, provided the only decisive criteria are: better ROI and business longevity?
I did not get any responses, but continued thinking on this very vehemently. Apparently, I now have an answer to my question and more. So here goes…
