I have never heard the term "PayPal Mafia" until this week (3 times). Is this new?

    Well now, that page seems to have been created 6 months ago, so I'd argue it's pretty new.

      If you read the page it says the term was first used in 2007.

        Google it, you'll find news articles from 2006/2007. This NY Times piece is good. I especially like the diagram. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/17/technology/17paypal.html http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/17/technology/17paypal.html

  Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon (a recency effect) I'd guess.
