Biggest Web 2.0 bubble

Yeah, who really use them! Audience from abroad (using cheap labor & click gimmics) doesn’t count. Duhh… This is Web 2.0 bubble at its best (worst?). Unless Lightspeed and Pinnacle get lucky, they will suck this bullet! Suckers! No doubt... this is one big case of huffing & puffing!
