True. I think though that you'll find that comparison hard to do as the dot com world is a highly scrutnized "young" venture so to speak. Like you said "the websites that actually have hard/soft(ware) sevices behind them are the ones that typically survive." The same goes for the fact that the ones who actually may have backing by some "bigger" more conventional company are the ones that survive. Maybe it's worthwhile for longer standing .coms to foster some of the startups and maybe we'll see less failures in the industry.
