Among the group were Brittany Bohnet of Google, Mike Hudack of Blip.tv, Dave Morin and Aaron Sittig of Facebook, Sam Lessin of Drop.io and Jessica Vascellaro, the Wall Street Journal’s Silicon Valley beat reporter. Team Cyprus: Alcohol + Bad Judgement + Really. Poor Timing The video was released just as Silicon Valley really began falling apart and the UnParty began in earnest. - eBay’s 10% layoffs. , Google's stock nosedive. , Yahoo’s self destruction. , VC’s. bunkering. down. , etc. And more than a few people thought the ostentatious partying was a little, ahem, tasteless in light of the meltdown back home. Now that video has been taken private. , which is what it should have been marked as in the first place. But it’s too late - the video has spread to YouTube and other sites, and won’t be disappearing again. As I said yesterday, fair or not the video video will always be associated with the end of Web 2.0. tags: team cyprus move to undo the video groups: in Online Video
