Not to mention the IPO babies of Zynga, et al have cause a housing spike of 50%.
For me the interesting part of the impact these companies has had is on the culture of the businesses that serve them, namely law firms and banks. These companies don't think the same way as the old guard clients, they approach things very differently and they expect that from the people they work with. Obviously there's less room for flexibility in law and finance, but it's been interesting to see firms position themselves to react to a changing market.
