OT: The bubble and the economy

Hi, I am preparing to write a research paper for my economics class on the effect of the internet bubble and burst on the economy. Also, what part (if any) it played in the most recent recession. If anyone could point me to any sites with data on the economy at the time and after I would really appreciate it. I haven't looked myself yet but I wanted to try to run it by you guys first and see if I can get a good starting point. With all the opinions on this list, I'm sure someone will give me a place to start. Thank you. Conrad
