They weren't wrong. We were in a tech bubble driven by social media. Digg, StumbleUpon, Kongregate, MySpace, Orkut, Slide, Meebo, Mahalo, Bebo, Justin.TV, etc. aren't exactly around anymore. Facebook and YouTube are the winners.
Anyone remember this video?

How many of the logos that scroll by there still exist?
- asveikau 4mo agoI was definitely around when that video was current, but I don't remember it. It's pretty amusing. Ironically I feel like it captures the spirit of the then-coming 2010s boom more than the climate in 2007, though some of the language it's using is decidedly pre-mobile and more "web 2.0"-ish.
- mike_hearn 4mo agoThe fact that some companies fail isn't evidence there was a bubble. Companies are always failing.
