I would think people are too scared after the late-90's boom.
Although a Google IPO is seen raising $2 billion or more, it alone will not open the floodgates to a torrent of venture capital funding and the heady returns seen in the dot-com and telecommunications boom of the late 1990s.
"I don't believe it breaks some logjam," Ted Schlein, a partner at Kleiner Perkins, said in a conference call with reporters to discuss a new quarterly report on the venture capital industry.
Schlein said that Google going to market would not mean that dozens of other companies would make it into the IPO pipeline.
I do see a growth in spending from companies wanting to advertise on search engines and blogs—text ads.
