"Web 2.0 zillionaires"? Lost me right there.
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.
As far as I can tell, it's just an article about beverage choices. You don't appear to have missed much.
Tea is the new coffee, if we're to believe that two entrepreneurs represent the opinion of the valley.
Summary: Kevin Rose and Tim Ferris prefer Tea to Coffee.
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've been drinking more tea lately but the $2 stuff at the grocery store seems to work fine.
I prefer tea, but I usually drink coffee in order to avoid the 2.5 sugars per cup I take with tea. I bet that's made your life complete knowing that, hasn't it? No? How could that be? Maybe some things aren't worth making articles out of? Speaking of which, my programming font of choice - before the seventh top 10 list this week pops up - is the first monospaced font I come across.
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.
Self promotion is becoming such a huge turn off to me. Also this story is old.
