David in web2.0 blog spat

edited November 2006 in General chat
{Notice: This thread may not be of interest to everyone. Or indeed anyone.} 1. Well known web2.0 celebrity tries to sell one of his web businesses. "It's viral, we never advertise!" he writes. "Why not buy it?" <http://www.barenakedapp.com/dropsend/were-selling-dropsend>; 2. Curmudgeonly blogger "dk" takes a photo of an ad for said product in leading magazine...skewering "no advertising" claim. <http://www.dkltd.net/spending-zero-money-on-advertising/>; 3. "We forgot about that" said Web2.0 celebrity, who recognises being 'called out' and thanks decrepit curmudgeon dk. <http://www.barenakedapp.com/dropsend/whats-going-on>; (scroll to the bottom) 4. Web2.0 playa-hater dk retires to his bed sapped of energy, saying rude things about something called Ruby on rails and reminiscing about working 19 hour day in the basement of an investment bank. <http://www.dkltd.net/>; 5. Someone points out this is an awful lot of noise for something that makes slightly less money than a sweet shop <http://www.dadblog.co.uk/work/2006/11/10/profit-reputation-and-web-20/#comments>; 6. Lucy stops reading this thread. (if indeed, she ever started). 7. It is revealed that Dropsend is apparently worth $900k. Minimum. Stroudgreen.org is immediately put on sale at £250k or a family pack of Monster Munch.
