Web 2.0 Bubble May Be Worst Burst Yet
athloi writes with a link to an editorial by John Dvorak over at the PC Magazine site. Rather than his usual tilting at windmills, Dvorak turns his attention to possibility of another big internet economy 'pop': "Every single person working in the media today who experienced the dot-com bubble in 1999 to 2000 believes that we are going through the exact same process and can expect the exact same results — a bust. It's déjà vu all over again. Each succeeding bubble has been worse than its predecessor. Thus nobody is actually able to spot the cycle, since it just looks like a continuum. I can assure you that after this next collapse, nobody will think of the dot-com bubble as anything other than a prelude." It certainly seems like another burst is imminent; will this one be worse than the original, or have less of an impact?
Quick, someone mod TFA -1, Dvorak!
If you believe anything that comes out of his cloaca, I've got a bridge to sell you...
Once again, Dvorak doesn't know what is happening or what people are doing with the Web.
I have never met anyone as consistently wrong as Dvorak.
How he hangs onto his job is beyond me.
Then again, I think anything he would actually write for is probably Rupert Murdoch style fish wrapper.
Yeah, John C. tell me again how Apple should be chopped up and sold off to enhance share-holder value.
You stupid cunt. Blinkered, Phillistine pig ignoramous.
MSBPodcast.com The opinions expressed here are my own. If you don't like 'em... Think up your own stuff.
Once I saw it was Dvorak, all I read was "blah blah blah." I guess John got tired of writing articles to piss off Mac users and decided to try a bigger crowd...

Zonk?
What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone here is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no mod points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
When I saw that it was an editorial by Dvorak I just moved on and did not RTFA. I did, however, waste a few minutes of my time to come here just to say that. :)
If I didn't have absolutely NOTHING to do, I wouldn't be here.

Every time I see Dvorak, I think "Finally! Another article on the Dvorak keyboard layout! Perhaps we'll gain a few more converts!". Alas, woe is me, for it's just another article from that talking garden gnome.
Confidental to editors: let him sink to the bottom with the rest of the slag.
Chris Knight is my hero.
Okay, we have Second Life & WoW Terrorists, Smarter teens have less sex, Mouse or Trackball, No Demand for Linux in UK and now a dvorak article on Web 20 bubble about to blow. Is it just me, or does it feel like this is the tabloids at the grocery store and not slashdot... Sam

Keep your hands off my comments Dvorak!
He invested all his savings in tulip bulbs.

Wasn't the CD-ROM bubble artificially propped up by AOL for a number of years?
If brevity is the soul of wit, then how does one explain Twitter?
Sure, but AOL aren't really the good guys: the economic damage they did to the coaster industry was enough to send the world's stock markets into meltdown for years!
If you disagree, post your argument. (-1, Overrated) isn't your personal censorship tool for views you don't like.
True, but be fair: the vast majority of Slashdotters aren't gonna read the article. So, no extra ad revenue for him!
(In Slashdot's defense: reading the article would be counterproductive.)
