Josh Rivera (aka supersloth) posted this insightful and funny tidbit when commenting on other people’s hatred of apps on MySpace and Facebook.
this is like people saying computers are for spreadsheets and pivot tables and nothing else. these are diverse systems that can be used for a wide range of things. you guys don’t hate the applications, you should all know this. you hate the way the general populace uses them, you all hate people, and it get’s a little rise out of you that the normal people out there are carving out their own little piece of this wild wild west.
we’ve all been out here on horse back, camping under the stars and dealing with the savages. but now the train tracks are getting laid down faster and faster and those townies in their big top hats and monocles, are headed our way. some of em are even carrying pocket watches, and they all get to do it so much easier than we had it.
the internets not just for nerds anymore guys. straps yourselves in, this ride is gonna be so f*cking bumpy. manifest destiny is a b*tch. don’t trade blankets with anyone.
I do have to point out that I do dislike the applications on Facebook, especially the ones that people keep telling me to use. There’s another reason for me disliking them, people adding so many that it takes forever to load their profiles. I can only imagine what it would be like for dialup users.

thanks for post duder, and thanks for having a problem with the apps that actually makes sense and isn’t just biased against the systems.
(but no thanks on censoring. just kidding. :P)
