I’ve gotta say, “BRILLIANT!” There are so many worthless W-2.0 apps out there that it is tough to know which to avoid. They are worthless to me and apparently, to you as well.

There are people who thing they understand technology just because they have a facebook or myspace page and own an iphone. They are just cows being lead to eventual slaughter, not really, but those sites/companies aren’t giving these services away out of the goodness of their hearts. There is a catch, we just don’t know it yet.

I miss the days when FOSS software was used to create server software that folks could download and install on their own servers. None of this non-released, give us your email account, and well build a business model around subscribers crap.

Of course, I think that google is the worst offender, not for search, but for everything else. “Do no evil.” We’ll see.

Ravenheart: “Who is the bigger fool: The fool, or the one who argues with him?”

Well, I may be a bigger fool for arguing with you, but to point out what is tragically obvious to anyone with two brain cells to rub together and the good sense G-d gave a goose: Your criticism is in no way constructive. It is simply the whining of a person who feels entitled to be entertained by others, and who delights in harping on their perceived shortcomings while offering nothing of value in return. If that’s how you behave in real life, you are a sad individual indeed.

Before I clicked the thumbnails I was certain that you were writing about windows apps. D’you mind linking the theme you’re using? Want to try out using the best windows theme ever on my ubuntu install.

Thanks in advance and thanks for a good read.

shell.fm is great. In fact, it works better than any other last.fm client I’ve used, because it’s the only one I’ve found that allows you to pause the music.

!Ja, ja, ja!, I love this article. They look like useless apps. Why would people use the command line for social networking sites?

I’ve been using pianobar for quite a while now. It’s fairly nice once you have the radio stations set up. It keeps ya from having to have a browser open with flash just to listen to music.

If I had more than a moment to post, I would send a pic of it.
