Is the Web 2.0 bubble popping?
If there were a theme to today's WSA Investment Forum, it would have to be the battle for online advertising dollars.

But for the first time since the dawn of the Web 2.0 era, I heard repeated comments about whether there was enough online ad money to go around.

But throughout the day, concerns popped up.
