Stinking Bubbles

There’s a bubble in talk about bubbles

Stinking Bubbles

  There may or may not be a bubble in Internet startup valuations. But one thing in which there is definitely a bubble is in talk by journalists, investors and anyone else looking to raise their online profile through constant punditry about bubbles.

A recent Google News keyword search for instances of “Internet” and “bubble” unearthed 960 links. Facebook, Twitter and Zynga are bubbles, said one. Is Yelp: the dot com bubble part deux? asked another. One more asked: Is Twitter the harbinger of the second bubble?
I have very bad memories about them stinking bubbles.  Sigh.

Armageddon! Laurence, you are way out-of-line. On the other hand, how can I turn down anything from Robert D. Raiford, my hero from good ol' Concord, NC. Paula sez, "He's older than my Mom!")
