There has been a lot of talk about the so-called bubble that is Web 2.0. This morning we saw Vivox raise $7.5M for building voice tools for virtual worlds. Microsoft's investment in Facebook a few weeks back valued the social network at $15 billion. Meanwhile, not an hour goes by when we don't receive news of a new widget or application designed to run on top of one of the major social networks. Thus, our question of the day:

Which area of Web 2.0 is the biggest bubble?
• Widgets and Facebook apps
• Virtual worlds
• Social networks
• None, let the good times roll!

Virtual Worlds are going to rock the web.. For Example look at Second Life > they just keep growing.

Where is User Generated Content on this poll?

Voted for "Widgets and Facebook Apps" but do not think the two should be lumped into the same category. Widgets - and the further development into microsites - have a bright future especially in media. Facebook apps, however, are limited by functionality, single platform exposure, and a parent operation increasingly returning to exclusivity.

If by "virtual worlds" you mean the circle jerk for geeks that is Second Life, then yes... it's going the way of the dodo.
