I thought I was going to hate this and what he said, but actually some of what he says makes sense.
What he's wrong about is the idea that you can go build your brand on the internet for "sweat equity". That doesn't happen, will never happen. Just because you have a domain/twitter/facebook page doesn't mean anything. It won't change anything, it doesn't provide your business with income, you can't live from it.
Obviously there are a few things on the web which have done well - google/facebook et al. But really, these are the few not the many. This mistaken idea that you can blog your way to success is complete nonsense. I believe you can blog your way to being a blogger who's page is read but beyond that I'm afraid it's nothing.
I agree that some people can set up businesses now differently to 20 years ago. But really, that's all it is, it's just different from renting a shop or office.
If your goal is to type all day - then spend your day on the computer and try make yourself "known" or build your own brand. But who can say that they actually know someone who's done this with a degree of success which relates to paying their bills/mortgage/food on the table?
Any way, interesting, but not interesting enough to change the world.
