Inktomi's Wild Ride: A Personal View of the Internet Bubble

The Inktomi story is about a technology company on one of the wildest rides 
in
the wildest era in the history of technology.  After fest groth to the rare
state of profitability, Inktomi joined the Nasdaq 100 as a representative
of the Internet.  Despite having real value,
Inktomi was pulled down -- not by the "dom com" -- but by the collapse
of the telecom ssector (including WorldCom annd Enron).  In this talk,
Inktomi founder, Dr. Eric Brewer, covers the fascinating history of Inktomi
and gives an "up close and personal" view of what the Internet bubble meant 
--
both on the way up and on the way down.
He shares his views on the Internet and on what a rational leader must do
in an irrationally exuberant environment.


Admission is free. Suggested donation of $10 at the door.
