Frat Row

A section of Chicago's Wrigleyville (Clark St. between Addison and Roscoe) that is populated with bars filled with older college students and recently graduated preppy Twenty-somethings. Being so close to Wrigley Field, sadly, only makes the Frat atmosphere worse.

On a recent trip to Wrigleyville in Chicago the group felt very out of place along Frat Row. It was like college all over again.

Web 2.5

The time period between mid-2007 and late 2009 when Web2.0 tatics, platforms and ideals were waning, but Web 3.0 had not yet matured or went mainstream.

Both Pandora and Muxtape were shut down in Aug. '08 by the government. A sad casualty of Web 2.5.
