Social Media Bubble Pops Before It Fully Inflates

bdking writes "Groupon's IPO plans are melting down. Facebook has pushed back its IPO to next September. And now Zynga reports a 95% reduction in sequential quarterly profits. So much for the social media IPO bubble." At least everyone is getting let down before a lot of people lose a lot of money this time around.

    Whenever I see a new Zynga games advertised I immediately hear a twisted version of Boomhauer in my head:

    Yeah man, I tell ya what, man, that dang ol’ Zynga, man, you just go in on there and point and click, talk about w-w-dot-w-com, mean you got the chicks on there, man, just go click, click, click, click, click, it’s dang ol' easy, man.

    Look, I'm all for pole dancing just not the type that has me dancing.

    I think we're all in agreement on this one.

    If I ever see a former Zynga coder or QA person come through my door looking for a job I WILL have you thrown off the premises bodily.

    Are you prepared to do that yourself? Most McDonald's locations don't have security personnel on-site.
