I was at Mashup Camp in Mountain View 2 weeks ago.

1) Super high energy level
2) Brilliant developers, mostly working on mashups as hobby sites but passionate about them
3) I felt solid Business models were lacking, even from those that had some VC funding.

But I do think mashups are a significant transition from Web 1.0 which is dominated by search and PPC and Google to Web 2.0 which will be more distributed and in many ways more like the early web where cleverness and passion will trump spam sites.

Xalex good questions but guess what? Many REALLY GOOD Web 1.0 people did not approach their biz models with money as the first concern. e.g. Page, Brin, Yang, Filo. Yet those guys actually do.....pretty well now.
