Man, this dude's crotchety. "Stop liking things I don't like!"


I can't disagree with you, even if I really want to. I'm the same way, I want people to stop using Twitter, because I don't want to use it. I went to dotgo this month, much of the last minute communication was on Twitter, which is a really annoying platform to navigate when you don't have an account. I want to get other people of the platforms that I don't use, so I'm not forced to deal with them myself.

Being push towards technologies, behaviors and trends you don't like can be extremely frustrating. In the end me being bitter about Twitter, JavaScript, smartphones, tablets and all the other stuff I really don't care about isn't going to change public opinion. I comfort myself in the fact that Twitter will be dead soon if they continue to lose money.

Can you elaborate why you are bitter about the above?


Well, for Javascript it's obvious. Not sure about the rest.


Well played :-)


And twitter users doing their part in turn by getting upset someone doesn't like what they like ;)
