It&#x27;s semantics, we&#x27;re saying the same thing.  Once the bubble bursts, then the fallout begins.  Already we&#x27;re seeing a few thousand layoffs from established companies (Autodesk, Yahoo, GoPro, Twitter, etc), and I&#x27;ve heard that LinkedIn is going to have layoffs, too.<p>The consequences of the burst don&#x27;t necessarily have to be as catastrophic as the dotcom bust, so it may or may not be dire enough affect traffic, commercial rent prices, etc, the same way.  I do think that it may be painful, but hopefully it&#x27;s not filled with fraud like the dotcom bust.
