While some bloggers are gleefully citing a one day drop in stock prices as proof that the Web 2.0 bubble has burst, nobody is noting the more serious decline in the level of snarkiness. Is this the best Supr.c.ilio.us can do?
"I said it before and I'll say it again. This is no way to build a bubble, people! Shake it off and let's make with the hype! We need focus, we need belief and we need to drink more of that Koolaid (mmm... cherry!)."
That's not snark. That is just lame. And what about my beloved GFY? Without Richard M. to kick around, they seem lost:
"Is it me, or does the overall quality of the wordpress blogs seem to be inversely proportional to the number of them?
I liked wordpress a lot more when one needed an invite to join."
Wow, observational humor. Boring! The real canary in the mine is the loss of snarkiness. It was the yin to Web 2.0's yang. If there is nobody ripping companies like Flock a new one, then maybe nobody cares anymore. I liked wordpress a lot more when one needed an invite to join."
