The lameness of this article is that he's making all of his conclusions on 3 big companies. That's an enormous generalization.

He's missing the whole lean, mean segment by looking only at the top.

Try comparing the sheer number of companies during 2.0 and 1.0, and you'll start to see the difference.

I was gonna make the same comment. Since when was web 2.0 (hairs goes up on back) about 3 companies.

If you need a real example of lean companies look no further than YC companies.
