why silicon valley can die in a fire, part n of x

[rone]

<beaker> Phreadz and Seesmic competitor 12seconds.tv, which we've billed as the true "video Twitter" because it restricts clips to twelve seconds in length, has opened its private beta doors for one day only in celebration of Talk Like A Pirate Day.

Oh, you have got to be kidding me... Have another vote for DIAF!

I'll withhold judgement until I either have to hate them for making money on so stupid a concept, or I have to hate them for dying for trying to market such a stupid idea.

Oh. Wait. I'm going to hate them either way. Nevermind.

I already hate them for being the third "video twitter" mentioned in that snippet alone, a species of abomination of which I had previously been blissfully unaware.

Since this particular deformed mutant offspring proves proves that those other two have clearly started breeding already; I find myself thinking more 'Nuke the entire site from orbit' rather than mere 'Die in a fire'.

The names "Phreadz" and "Seesmic" also make me want to KILL KILL KILL.

Well, I suppose that's one advantage the new one has... The name is not quite so offensively stupid and meaningless.

The domain name begins with a digit and the TLD is a foreign country's, chosen for marketing value. There's still a lot to hate.

Nuke First.....

... it's the only way to be sure that we have glassed them from space....

That sentence never stops getting worse. By my count, it should be "...parts n - n+7 of x."

It's like a piece of dialogue from the old Max Headroom show.
