Summary: Kevin Rose and Tim Ferris prefer Tea to Coffee.

"Web 2.0 zillionaires"? Lost me right there.

As far as I can tell, it's just an article about beverage choices. You don't appear to have missed much.

Why? Was it the "Web 2.0" or the hyperbole? I don't have a problem with it. Would you have a preferred a more staid, "Businessmen who have made a lot of money by designing and marketing a website that does blah, blah, blah"? Lighten up.

Just the word "zillionaires." I don't think (and, um, I have some inside knowledge) that either of them have made all that much money. Especially for northern California. Tim Ferris wrote a book, mostly, which is pretty notorious for being not very rewarding.

I hate coffee and I've been drinking tea for decades. Why aren't I a Web 2.0 zillionaire yet?

Keep on brewing and wait it out.

I've been drinking more tea lately but the $2 stuff at the grocery store seems to work fine.

Coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon. Best of both worlds :D

That's a good idea, I want to start doing that! :)

Usually I have a Cappuccino in the morning, then another Cappuccino around 5pm... But the second one makes me a little edgey, so this will be a nice alternative to try out.

...But I have no idea what type of tea to try?!

This is what I've done for years. A nice green tea or a Chai after dinner will make you feel good but won't give you the buzz coffee usually does that'll make you stay up too late. :-)

I prefer to drink Chamomile as I try to avoid caffeine as much as I can. At the moment, I use Twinnnings Chamomile tea bags (for convenience), but as soon as I move into my own place, I'm going to start growing my own in the garden and drying and storing it for drinking.

Quite interesting talk

Self promotion is becoming such a huge turn off to me. Also this story is old.

Tea is the new coffee, if we're to believe that two entrepreneurs represent the opinion of the valley.
