This was my second TechCrunch Disrupt, and what a difference a year makes.Not this year. I mean the year that began in July 2006, when Twitter launched. Two months later, Facebook finally opened up to everyone worldwide; in June 2007, Dropbox was founded; and one month after that, the first iPhone went on sale. Since then nearly everyone else has been playing in the space opened up by those four pioneers.Oh, I'm not saying they were the first social networks, or the first cloud-service startup, or even the first smartphone. But they were the first to win truly mass appeal, the first to reveal the riches available in whole new continents of unclaimed territory -- mobile! social! local! cloud! Since then, legions of copycats and competitors have rushed in to stake their own claims in these undiscovered countries where the streets seemed paved with gold.Not any more. That land rush is over. And this is a very good thing.
