We're gonna party like it's 1998...

[xthread]

Two of the three flagship magazines of the late nineties Internet boom, Red Herring and The Industry Standard, have been revived. Red Herring stopped publishing in 2003 and resumed in 2004. The Industry Standard stoppef publishing in 2001 and resumed today.

At this rate, we'll see Upside come back, covering startup investments in green technology.

Everything old is new again...

Curiously, I found, by chance, only this morning a tape cassette with the Greatest Hits of 1998 on it. On the showing of their compilation, it wasn't a great year. See tracklist here: http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/store/artist/album/0,,970083,00.html
Not one to use for your party mix, I'd say.

Oh, the Touch and Go track is a pretty good swing tune, so it's not a complete loss.

Have you read "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius?" I found it a weird trip back into that late nineties sense of infinite possibility. Maybe it wasn't as flashy as the defining period for other generations, but there was something very particular there. You're better travelled--was that really a West Coast thing or was it more general?

I haven't...

No, that was definitely happening in at least the rest of the US as well.
