But Web 2.0 *is* dead. It died even before Arrington said it did. Can you point to a single service that is profitable and out of the woods? And whatever his own “wanker” status, he’s right to call out these party kids. They haven’t gotten the news of the recession yet. They will. People will not be buying or VCing their widgets.

This one from the middle of last year was fine, it seems. Perhaps because they were in an office rather than a villa?

I should mention that TechCrunch UK is quite a lot less annoying.

I saw this when it first surfaced and my impression was that it was just a fun vacation video. I have no idea how Arrington came to this conclusion. Hearing the Journey song though did make me sad and remember the last time I saw good old Tony Soprano!

Arrington is a wanker who likes to throw his weight around. Were it not for the fact that some people I like work for him, I’d very much like to see his entire business fall apart around his ears. As it is, I’d settle for him just shutting the fuck up.

I liked the video as it made me start listening to Journey again. I’d forgotten how much I love that song.

Arrington is a parasitic dicksplash, responsible for contributing vast quantities of inert gas to the online discourse. In a more just and ordered world, he’d have gone on to a mediocre career in regional middle-marketing.
