Well, my Twitter setup is finally optimized to the nth degree. I’ve now installed the TwitBin Firefox extension and I’m getting Tweets from friends as I work in my browser. It’s much better than subscribing to the RSS feed and eons better than Twitterific (sorry, Anthony, but the damn chirping started driving me bonkers).
quick thought... November 24th, 2006 - 10:41AM
Launch.com was one the first “2.0″ type services I ever used, way back in 2000. What made it 2.0? Well for starters, I could easily subscribe to people who had a similar taste in music as myself. It was last.fm before last.fm was ever conceived. I loved the service. Then it was bought by Yahoo! and transformed into Yahoo! Music. Innovation and basic enhancements immediately ceased. For instance: I just tried to fire up my station as background music while I put my office together, but Firefox and Safari on the Mac still aren’t supported. I’m with Doc — Yahoo! had better leave flickr the fuck alone.
To All Firefox Users: It’s Time To Marginalize IE!
Those crazy kids at Mozilla (or some crazy fan) just put together the switch site of all switch sites: Kill Bill’s Browser.
If people thought Apple poked and prodded Microsoft Windows users during their switch campaign, Mozilla (or the aforementioned fan) is pimp slapping Microsoft IE. They’re even leveraging the Google AdSense program to reward bloggers for promoting (or forcing) IE users to make the move.
Pimp hand in play.
But seriously, out of the 13 reasons they list to make the move, #5 is by far the one that keeps me up at night:
I’m not in SF, but I’ve come close enough to leaping into the Hudson over this same frustration (believe me, that skank water is just as dangerous). Hopefully, heads of corporate procurement and InfoSec departments are reached by this site too as they represent the majority of IE users. Although, I don’t think a site talking frankly about porn is going to convince them. They’re in too happy a relationship with the Microsoft empire to pause for self-pleasure minus the pop-ups.
And while we’re schmoozing Microsoft, let’s end this post on a great note and pause to reflect upon why we dislike them so much.
Just where did their purple Nike’s and jugs of Kool-Aid disappear to?
