Bubble 2.0: RIP November 14th, 2007

Well things certainly are getting frothy around here, aren’t they? Facebook is “valued” at $15 billion, Google is busy dismantling every industry they can find while the stock races to $2000, Apple is scaring the pants off the content “creators” all while shipping a stinkin’ cell phone and Microsoft just had their best quarter ever. (Fun fact: MSFT had more profit last quarter than GOOG had revenue. Feel free to read that twice.)

Goodness! We’re clearly in a Bubble right? I mean, we’ve been talking about this Bubble 2.0 stuff for the last 2 years. Well, I’m callin’ it out right now; the statute of limitations has just run out on the term Bubble 2.0. We’re not in a bubble folks, move along.

As of November 14th, 2007 I’m asking that people stop referring to the current state of affairs as a bubble. Failure to do so will result in me taking a sharpie to all of your Threadless tees.

KTHXBYE.
