As most of you have probably noticed by now a lot of investors are on a shopping spree of the newest Web 2.0 technologies like facebook, skype which many fear is going to end with a second internet bubble similar to the dot-com bubble. The following video is highlighting this theory while at the same time making fun of people who are making the same mistakes all over again :P.

"There's absolutely no bubble in technology"
Peter thiel october 31, 2007
investor, Facebook
got me a CS degree
honor roll, MIT
moved to Palo Alto
opportunity Knocked
thought i had the perfeect plan
took a job at webvan
traded in my twenties
for a worthless pile of tech stock
Suffered throught the market crash
lost a giant wad of cash
Pink slips, burger flips
would you like some fries
happy days are here again
lary page, sergey brin
time to write a business plan
so i can be like those guys!
here comes another bubble
it's a monster rally
all around the valley
first you need a buzzword
(Ajax)
then a second and a third
pick at least two industries
you'll revolutionize
(newpappers + friendship bracelets)
find yourself an engineer
feed him pizza, buy him beer
(product placement : Samel Adams)
Give him just a fraction
of a fraction of the pie
need a good domain name
must be cheap, can't be lame
something cool like
flickr, meebo, wikiyou, mahalo, bebo
"telephone" without the "t"
"digg" but with a triple "g"
make your elevator pith
("We're going to change the world!")
code it up and flip the switch
(internal server error)
here comes another bubble
(VC #1: friendship bracelets and news is a game changer.)
the VCs are backing
(VC #2: The next wave of the web will be friendship bracelets.)
baby let's get cracking
blog, blog, blog it all
blog it if it’s big or small
blog at the cineplex
(justin.tv)
blog while you're having sex
blog in the locker room
babies blogging in the womb
blog even if you’re wrong
won’t you blog about this song?
(Yet Another Stupid Web 2.0 Video)
launch party, nicely dressed
what the point? sausage fest
blue shirt, khaki pants,
looking like a line of ants
need to get a facebook page
all these guys are half my age
twenty nice, past my prime
i feel so behind the times
here comes another bubble
(Matt is broke)
in a year we swear
we'll all be billionaires
make yourself a million bucks
partly skill, mostly luck
now you can afford a down payment
on a small house
if you want a bigger one
hillsborough, atherton
better hoipe the same thing
happened to your spouse
IPO... luky you
have your cake and eat it too
Party yacht, party jet
why not buy a matching set?
build yourself a rocket ship
blast off on an ego trip
can this really be the end?
back to work you go again
here comes another bubble
(im in ur serverz making thingz better!!, Twitter has problems!!)
and when we are gone
(You looked better on Myspace)
this will still go on
