Drama 2.0
Some months ago, I discovered this little angry pot of a blog. I quite like this blog. But let me warn you before you click that link: it's steaming hot & angry.
"The Drama
2.0" log is written by an expert on "anything", combined with an "impressive
track record in the financial world", after landing a $5 million deal to
write his own blog (why he needed the $5 mill to start writing with his amazing
background is a mystery to me).
To me, he's part of the new type of blogger we've seen emerge in the last few years. While blogging was merely an academic or personal exercise in the past, it's now also the fortunate few's luxury job. "Drama 2.0" writes:
Drama 2.0. is after the wrong doings of the early web community. Maybe because of his strong financial background, it becomes extra obvious to him that there is a lack of monetization of today's web? So while he's leaving the following note to Tim O'Reilly:

"..next time you decide to cash in with another conference that piggybacks on an overhyped "industry," give it a generic name so that you save yourself the embarrassment of having to spew a bullshit rationale for a new focus when that "industry" declines. My suggestion for your next conference: Circle Jerk 2009. The motto: "Everybody gets a turn."
...it's worth noting perhaps, that thanks to the
early community's "hyped up" web, Drama 2.0 is able to surf a $5 mill wave as a
blogger?
