haha, it's true.
plus why does everyone *have* to have such crappy backgrounds with music you can't turn off. The comment system you have to be psychic to figure out who was talking last, etc.
Used to check it for my lass while she was at work for talking to people she couldn't remember their numbers to; gotta say it certainly did take away my will to live each time I used it.
It's like a collection of the worst parts of early internet wrapped into a neat little package using php. Never understood what makes it so popular.
I mean it's like YouTube, don't get me wrong there are some aspects of that site I like; but 90% of it are just people using it to get themselves on camera across the world.
Hell did anyone see that "Playstation 3 Rocks" where it was literally half video replies and half comment replies.
That was one of the more amusing uses I've seen for it, but tbh it's that sort of crap that really needs web-filtering. Been told that the internet is about giving the power to the people, providing a global way to communicate.
All it's done is re-justify my believe that most of the world just isn't ready for local communication let alone global.
