Hot, not, or forgot?

It takes the gang at Wired — which, full disclosure, I still write for and have a soft spot for, even if I'm fired again after this post — a couple of months to ship one of their Wired / Tired / Expired lists. This leads to missed comic timing. With Web 2.0 Summit buzz still circling, "Tired: Facebook apps" in the new issue feels either too early, or a week late. No such problem here. We whipped off our own list in six minutes this morning. (Note to unfunny tech workers: Calling Chris Anderson's magazine "Tired" is so totally over. Valleywaggers prefer "The Long Fail.")
