In one of the more popular areas of the webosphere (slash blogosphere), a soap opera has just bubbled up. This involves Mr. Web 2.0, who dissed the New York Times, much to the dismay of fellow A-list bloggers.

Unlike most soap operas, though, there is no love triangle, long-lost child, and not even a Cinderella story in this one. It’s a brawl for the boys. Web 2.0 style.

Yes, Web 2.0 has gotten so big that it’s got its own subgenres now. This one’s under drama. (Who knew such these big guys would be great soap stars?)
