Hi leaa,
Though the dotcoms may not boom like it did before, there are still
sites which make a lot of money. This one for example :-)
answers.google.com started when all was down. Another site that comes
to mind is amazon.com. During the course of my research over the
internet on this topic, I came across the following articles (title,
date and url provided)
Dotcom boom 'just beginning' (4th March, 2002)
http://www.thisismoney.com/20020303/nm45033.html
"The internet boom will return - and it will be bigger and more
profitable than the first time round. They sound like the views of a
web nerd - or a lunatic. But this amazing assertion comes from
respected US economist W Brian Arthur."
New IBM chief claims lead in next dotcom boom (1st May, 2002)
http://www.ananova.com/business/story/sm_579159.html
"IBM's new chief executive says the firm is ready to reap the benefits
of a coming boom in internet spending. Samuel J Palmisano told a
shareholders' meeting that IBM has the right tools for the new wave of
emerging internet devices."
Though the dot-com boom is over, e-book sales still on the rise (27th
February, 2002)
http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/2759190.htm
"The theme at this year's annual meeting of the Association of
American Publishers seems left over from the dot-com boom:
``Protecting Intellectual Property in the Digital Age.'' The recent
shutdown of electronic imprints at Random House and AOL Time Warner
Inc. makes e-books look like a dying fashion. Between the slow economy
and the events of Sept. 11, publishers apparently had higher
priorities than worrying about hackers and electronic copyrights. The
e-market continues to expand nevertheless."
Will Silicon Valley Bounce Back in 2002? (15th January, 2002)
http://abcnews.go.com/sections/business/TechTV/techtv_SiliconBounceBack_020115.html
" "This is by far the worst downturn that we've had," says Doug
Andrey, director of information systems and finance for the
Semiconductor Industry Association, or SIA. "But we've had other
downturns before that we've always managed to come back from."
Already, 2002 is showing signs that the economic storm is breaking
up."
Dotcom disasters in decline (5th April, 2002)
http://www.vnunet.com/News/1130669
"The rate of internet company closures appears to be slowing down,
according to new figures from merger and consulting firm
Webmergers.com. The company, which tracks the count each month on its
website, reported that just 54 internet companies shut down in the
first quarter of 2002 compared with a total of 164 companies a year
ago."
Furniture, food, and a dotcom revival (17th April, 2002)
http://money.cnn.com/2002/04/17/technology/techinvestor/hellweg/
"But the concept of online home grocery delivery is still here and
growing. And don't look now, but other long-forgotten Net concepts and
companies are quietly coming back to the dance, tossing aside their
flashy oversize polyester duds, and replacing them with sensible shoes
and an understated smile."

A few articles from mid-2001
Dotcom death rate flattens out (12th July, 2001)
http://www.vnunet.com/News/1124618
"The 'brutal shakeout phase' may finally be coming to an end. The
internet software and services industry is finally showing signs of
stability and is nearing the end of what was described as the "brutal
shakeout phase" which characterised the last 18 months."
Dotcom worst is over, claim researchers (2nd August, 2001)
http://www.vnunet.com/News/1124446
"Fall in casualties may indicate that 'plateau' has been reached. The
number of dotcom casualties in July dropped to its lowest level since
last September, according to a new US report. Researcher
Webmergers.com said that 32 dotcoms closed in July, down from 58 in
June, and that the worst was probably now over."
There are some really good articles on http://www.webmergers.com. It
also has loads of stats, some of them are for a fee.
I hope that this answer has been of help. If you have any
clarifications, then please don't hesitate to request for a
clarification. Otherwise, feel free to rate this answer. If you're not
happy with the answer, then neither am I :-)
Good day.
