Oh Dear God, Web2.0 is Scary

I don’t know what came into me, I wanted to see what’s new on a few Ajax homepages, like Pageflakes and stuff. And my, oh my, oh my, oh my!

Please, please tell me how is this:

Pageflakes - Web2.0

.. any different than this:

MSN - Microsoft Network

I can’t stand this anymore. I love the technology, I love the innovation, but I can’t stand all the discrimination, what the hell is the difference between Pageflakes and MSN?! Both are filled with absolutely useless content that looks hideous, or is it just a version bump? 1.0 to 2.0?!

I really like the fluffy colors, the big ass icons, the screencast craze, the make-your-own-blog-in-five-nanoseconds stuff, but please don’t call it something like: Blabr Flikuroo, it gets on my nervous, it’s too touchy feely.

What in the world happened to “regular” names? IBM, Sun, heck, even Microsoft is more of a real name for a company.

Phew, there you have it. Execute the brainfart, I had to get this off my chest.

Now back to my regular schedule.
