sfgate.com — Certainly tech's new boom, which has been labeled Web 2.0 by some, has many similarities to the dot-com days of the late 1990s, when twentysomething millionaires rode their scooters through the corridors of short-lived startups and companies with little or no real revenues were commanding obscene valuations on Wall Street.

IMHO, we don't have too much of a web2 bubble, but we have a huge gargantuan bigger than Mt. Everest housing bubble. We also have a pending currency crises. The information age is making it very difficult for the federal reserve banking system to manipulate the currency values without causing immediate shock-waves across all markets. These shock-waves happen to water down their newly minted money before they can spend it, thus they get no more bang for thr buck than the rest of us. Add that to the over saturated debt in the government and housing sectors, the over saturation of dollars in foreign markets, record low US savings rate, the massive account deficit, and you have a recipe for disaster no matter who we elect this season. (hint, people would be really wise to buy precious metals)

the naming of web 2.0 companies has to stop. Everyone has cute weird names that have nothing to do with the company and all are less than 2 syllables long.Why not come up with creative names like <a class="user" href="http://whatsonmybookshelf.com">http://whatsonmybookshelf.com</a> which incorporates the name and logo.
