Web 2.0: Time to Drink the Kool-Aid!
When I see “Top XX” lists trotted out I know its December. That’s because media outlets have to fill the holiday vacuum of real news with something. Usually these lists, especially with Tshirts, are nothing more than slightly warmed up rehashes of past archives or summaries of a five minute Google search.
That’s why the Switched site’s “Top 11 Geek T-Shirts” list was so refreshing. First off, it’s good. Secondly, they obviously took their time and did more than just scan the best sellers at ThinkGeek. Finally, they alerted me to this gem - “Don’t drink the Kool-Aid” for $20 from Mule Design.
Granted, I don’t harbor the seething hatred that Ted from Uncov has towards Web 2.0 startups. However, when there’s enough silliness going on to warrant a geek viral video it’s time to check the enthusiasm brakes.
