This Makes Me Sad

WTF

I mean really. Is this what it’s come to? I feel embarrassed.  I mean, if you’re a celebrity, etc. are you going to want to work with Yahoo! when it has basically the Enquirer as it’s latest thing in beta? Fuck no.

Twitter, for Pete's Sake...

…get off that Ruby on Rails crap! Your site is not that complex and could probably be totally rewritten in like a week, maximum. If you don’t do it, I will.

Messenger for the Web

So if you haven’t seen recently, Yahoo! now has a version of Messenger that runs in a web browser. I’m actually running it in another tab as I write this. I can’t figure out if this is genius or insanity yet, but I’m leaning towards the latter.

The plus side is simple: server-side history (which I hope works on the client version too), and the ability to IM from anywhere without having to install software. It’s perfect for interweb kiosks, etc.

But damn, it’s a web page and that makes it… oh I don’t know… large. And now, I have a messaging pending, so the tab is displaying the message like a marquee, scrolling across. Annoying. It should just probably change into a different title that indicates there’s a message unread.

The jury’s still out on this one. It definitely will be useful at times, no doubt, but I don’t know if it’s what I want to run 100% of the time.
