Here Comes Another Bubble!

Sung to the tune of Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” this music video by the San Francisco-based Richter Scales is pure genius.

And so, as the song asks, we sure will blog about it (plus it uses our interview with Facebook investor Peter Thiel, also below, at the start).

In fact, it’s an honor to, as these guys get the Web 2.0 mania better than pretty much everyone in Silicon Valley.

And a warning to all: The video was so hysterical, it apparently made Robert Scoble spew Diet Coke through his nose. That’s, of course, not such a funny image.

And here is our original Thiel interview:

  3. Scoble is always deadly serious about his Diet Coke nose-spewing!

  4. I saw this last night on a different blog and thought exactly the same thing - *pure genius* - and proceeded to let everyone I know in the Bay Area about the video!
