bub.blicio.us is a blog about the SF Bay Area tech scene, Web 2.0 culture, emerging technology and recently funded startups. It was started by Brian Solis, principal of Future Works, an award winning PR agency in Silicon Valley, who I met during my infiltration of SF’s technology events and meetups in search of tech advice for my rainforest magazine.

The meaning of bub.blicio.us
We, at the blog, use the term “bub.b.licio.us” as an adjective to describe any phenomenon reminiscent of the hype, exhilaration, lavish, frenetic partying, ludicrious investments, and shocking buyouts surrounding the Internet boom of 1999.
Not to be confused with Bubblicious, the bubble gum, bub.blicio.us is specifically punctuated to imitate the domain name of del.icio.us, a pioneer social bookmarking site that was acquired by Yahoo in 2005.
Though its origins stem from the Web 2.0 era, bub.blicio.us is an adjective that can be used to describe extreme behavior during any technology bubble.
“The (insert unknown startup with name that ends with a consonant and “r” - think Flickr - here) party at (insert swanky establishment here) with the champagne fountain, ahi tuna tartare appetizers, and samba parade was indeed bub.blicio.us.“
