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!
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...

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?
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.)
