[tantek] The Gartner hypecycle is nonsense that is good for one thing, selling Gartner subscriptions. "expectations" is not a measurable Y-axis (read: they can make up any "number" they want for where something is). Most things never make it to hype level (see startups, apps, github repos) and are ignored before that point. most hyped things are total crap (see startups, apps) and *never* come back in any useful form.
