Was “Here Comes Another Bubble” psychic or what?
The current tough economic situation and the deflation of the Web 2.0 bubble were certainly perfectly predicted by the huge hit online video.
In any case, it is most definitely worth another look with meltdown eyes.
BoomTown was the first to put up the hugely popular spoof video called “Here Comes Another Bubble,” by the San Francisco-based Richter Scales.
And, the first to report on the controversial story of it then being taken down by YouTube (GOOG), in a fight the group had with a local photographer, Lane Hartwell, who objected to [...]
While “Here Comes Another Bubble,” the hysterical but copyright-controversial online music video created by San Francisco’s Richter Scales got all the attention, the folks over at JibJab Media also made another video set to the tune of the same Billy Joel song, “We Didn’t Start the Fire.”
