AntiFreeze's Journal: Link Preservation

Seeing blinder's recent JE concerning the ridiculousness that is Web 2.0, I realized I wanted to immortalize a link to a site which pretty succinctly gels with my feelings on Web 2.0 hype:

Ah yes, more money than sense.

My thoughts on Web 2.0? Stupid overused buzzword which now makes me run away wretching. Remember, the great sites out there and killer new web apps aren't winners because they're "web 2.0", they're winners because they're great sites and apps. Drop the buzzword people, it's just stupid.

So you're saying the only consistent fuckup people have been having problems with is Windows?

I do have to admit, after thinking that through, you're right.
