If there is a video of 20 somethings in it and it doesnt have nudity involved it doesnt require any attention. Everything about this is lame. The video, the hype, the discussion.

Who cares?

The hole you are digging yourself keeps getting deeper. Here’s what will be remembered as signifying the death of Web 2.0:

The fact that the leading Web 2.0 blog is tied up in baseless scapegoating, misdirecting bad feeling, and making such a big deal out of nothing.

Instead of flaming out like this, may I suggest you gracefully downsize your operation. Those ads in the top right will be disappearing real soon now.

oh PLEASE stfu. “they’re dancing about to it while some of their companies (facebook) have no business model, which is representative of the mindset of many web 2.0 startups. Forego a real business model, just get attention and we’ll figure it out later.”

facebook has had no business model for a few years now, please don’t try to relate this video to that. this song has been around forever, I think you are digging WAY to much into the lyrics you nerd.

Yes, how dare a few 20-something take a vacation and share a rented beach house. Non story.

You’ve praised this type of behavior in the past (see link below). Stop doing a 180 on yourself, Mike. Economic conditions fluctuate. There is absolutely no bubble in technology. Other companies will come out of this bigger, faster, and stronger.

I dont understand what your problem is, Mike. Were you drunk when you were posting these weird stuff or did you have a bad breakup recently. So the financial markets tumble down while they are partying somewhere. Is that their problem. Probably they werent even aware of the mess. And how is that a sign of fall of Web 2.0. Web 2.0 was coined as a social collaboration term. Most of the websites that started as the forms of Web 2.0 are still thriving. I consider Facebook as Web 2.0 too. Are you the one who decides Web 2.0 ended. And whats with these posts showing them as irresponsible. Dont be so jealous If you cant take a vacation its your problem and if they didnt invite you, TC is not the way to take ur stupid revenge

When all seems to be lost, what else is there to do? Party!!

We’ll worry about the rest, or at least what’s left of it, if anything, in the morning.

Diana. et al, you’re completely missing the point, its the timing that makes this video such an classic, not the fact that these guys are partying. they’re doing it at the exact time that the web industry (and all industries) are experiencing a severe meltdown.

Also, the song they chose couldn’t be more perfect, ‘don’t stop believing’ – they’re dancing about to it while some of their companies (facebook) have no business model, which is representative of the mindset of many web 2.0 startups. Forego a real business model, just get attention and we’ll figure it out later.

Listen to the lyrics of the song, It’s a classic and will go down in web history, “dont’ stop believing”;

Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

Man, it’s a classic video. It’s not about them partying, its about the timing and the choice of song.

Again – they can do what they want. You can wallow in your house and worry about the market and ‘web 2.0′ and silicon valley. They’re living life. Fucking whiner.

The joke is “Highway to Hell” plus the video. If you watched after the first chorus, then you’re an idiot.
