No Fans of Web 2.0 Here

I just want to acknowledge @“tehawesome’s amazing answer to my query about wtf is going on with Google Reader. I asked”Why are there no borders anywhere on this goddamn new layout”? To which they replied:

“Because it’s different and open, like an absurd new-age elementary school. No borders, no walls, man! Everybody gets a crocodile in Spelling.”

Congrats, @tehawesome. You get today’s Laugh Out Loud reward of the day. Your prize was my actually laughing out loud, which you couldn’t hear.

Okay, what? Google, why did you shut down a service that I actually use every day? What is UP? Is today, like, bad decisions Tuesday, or something?

Note from 2022 Rachel: JUST WAIT TIL THEY SHUT DOWN GOOGLE READER

I know I’ve talked about this a lot today but… Why? Just… why? Why are there no borders anywhere?

What is the desire, the need, to make others aware of their Morning Person status? There is no doubt in my mind that the inspiration for all the various statuses and tweets along the lines of: “What a beautiful morning, a nice hour of yoga and I’m so ready to attack today! #GettinThatWormBro” is simply to make the rest of us feel bad as we stand, comatose, in front of our coffee machines. I hate you, social networking-capable morning person. You are the worst part of waking up. You are the Anti-Folgers.

“Our solution was to create a new place that’s lighter-weight where you can see lighter-weight stuff—that’s how we came up with Ticker.” If you translate “lighter-weight” to boring, you’ll understand what Zuckerberg is saying: Facebook now has a place on its site reserved especially for boring updates.”
