Convert Twitter users into FriendFeed Imaginary Friends!

By Joel 'Jaykul' Bennett on 16-May-2009

So a lot of people seem to be taking the latest missteps by Twitter’s management (and the accompanying admission of bad design) as an opportunity to try out some alternatives.

This “Web 2.0” nonsense is still ridiculous, and I thought I’d just throw this out there to express my annoyance.

About Huddled Masses

This is web site is dedicated to the musings of Joel Bennett (aka Jaykul) about technology, software, software development, the web, and the world.

Any resemblance of the views expressed and the views of my employer, my terminal, or the view out my window are purely coincidental. The resemblance between them and my own views is non-deterministic. The question of the existence of views in the absence of anyone to hold them is left as an exercise for the reader.

P.S.: I occasionally link to things I think are great. When I do, I occasionally find a "referral code" so I can make a little cash. I promise that I don't link to anything just because of that cash (I wouldn't cross the street for the amount of cash those links bring in, never mind write a whole blog post) ... but I do not promise that things I link to will stay great as time passes, nor that you will agree with me about their greatness!
