On my second rant against the most idiotic thing ever invented, Faceboof apps, I shall now rant against the Super Wall…
What is it? Just the “web 2.0″ (or is it just Facebook) equivalent of email chain-letters. It was born to this feature with the fact that you can write, and forward a message, to, per default, ALL of your contacts. What’s in it? The same bullshit, over and over again, forwarded to you by your “friends” because it says “Forward now!”. Somebody should really invent a one-button “Send me money” functionality on the web, imagine how rich he’ll be after posting “Click here now!”.
So anyway, there’s this joke posted on some person’s super wall I wanted to read. It turned out to be a rehash of the old joke of reasons why a computer is male (you got it to solve problems, instead it IS the problem), and reasons why it should be female (only its creator understand its internal logic). Anyway, before I found this out, I had to click “Click here to read the rest of this message” (Haha, I’m just as stupid… Ka-ching!). So I did. “Install Super Wall?”, the stupid thing asked. “Well all right, I’ll delete it afterwards.”. Uncheck all the stupid things it wants to do like write to my status feed, spam my mailbox, put itself on my profile (oh hell no!), and click “Install!”…
“Do you want to invite your friends?” No, f- you, skip that.
“Do you want to send e-cards?” No…
“Do you want [I forget what, I was just looking for the skip message]“.
Ah the stupidity of Facebook apps. If you want to interact with a friend’s installed app, you have to install it too! Because user-base is everything! “We have a million users! Now give us 50 million f’ing dollars you stupid venture capitalists!”
OK, can I now downgrade to Web 1.0 please? Here’s your quote of the day: “Web 2.0 is Windows Vista”.
