These funds are typically 10 year fund so it’s not a big deal overall

Media such as AllThingsD(esperate) tend to focus way too much on short-term, negative, hype news

A better approach is to look at big picture and not be knee jerks

AllThingsDesperate should temper its overuse of ‘econolypse’ (which every single one of your writers uses EVERY DAY) with experience and maturity to know that economic cycles come and go

You’d think that Kara, Walt, John, etc. (who’ve been around the block many times) would have some PERSPECTIVE to share.

But no.

Every day it’s

Kara=Yahoo rerun
John=wiseguy negative bit
Peter=same ol, same ol
Walt=wow, Google and Apple are great and they let me on campus

Come on AllThingsDesperate

There’s a lot in the digital industries happening that are positive and that show PERSPECTIVE

For example, what are the successes of 2001 tech crash?

How fast is mobile growing in Asia and what’s the average revenue per subscriber growth look like? Data usage vs. last year?

Who’s innovating new solutions that make companies more efficient?
