Web2.0 Bubble Video Parody

Posted by Mike Volpe on 12/6/07 10:23 AM

This is a great video.  I think the people who lived through the last bubble in 1999-2000 will find this even funnier than most people.  Having the context from 1999 just adds a lot to the experience.  What is also interesting to me, is that this time the bubble has not really carried over into the public stock market.  So the stories of so many people being worth tons of money because they bought all these tech IPOs that skyrocketed is not happening.  This is good because it makes this bubble smaller, and less risky.

 

What is also interesting to me, is that in the last bubble, there was no YouTube.  So there were not a massive number of video parodies.  but there were some pictures, like this one that was mocking the fact that all you needed to do was put a ".com" on the end of any word and make $100 million.
