A buy signal

Mike Arrington announces that TechCrunch is merging with FuckedCompany. 

My belief is that when a boom is tailing off is the best time to invest in truly new ideas. People's thinking has been going in one direction for a long time, so long that all the big ideas have been tried, and people are creatively exhausted. 

To me that means its time to change your assumptions, and head off in a different direction. Everyone's been zigging, at a time like this it pays to zag. 

Revisit some ideas that spawned the current boom that have been discarded, and continue the evolution by going in a different direction.
