<< History spoken | Main | Gigantopussoir >> April 14, 2005 >> Message this Very restless today. Very sick of being sick. Chugging cough syrup is losing its charm. MSN 7 doesn't seem to add anything remotely resembling a new feature. Instead it's all bloated with animated wink-things and a whole host of unnecessary bullshit designed to shock and awe twelve year old girls. And what's better, you can actually pay money to get access to more winks, more smiley-faces, more BS. There's more advertising, more mandatory tab links to garbage I don't need (like Lavalife... what the fuck). Integrated search, because clearly we're all too stupid to open a web browser when we want to look something up (and clearly Microsoft is looking to take a chunk out of Google). And the nudging. God, the nudging. I was kinda hoping for something useful. Like maybe a sarcasm font, because everyone knows that sarcasm doesn't work on MSN. Or different ways to search and organize your list of contacts. Adding tiny, unintelligable pictures beside everyone's name does not help. Neither does this whole personal message italics dealie. We already had personal messages. We made 'em ourselves. Anyways, looks like a certain corporation is running out of innovations and now it's time to wheel out the Advertising & Fisty-Raping Machine. I guess I'll take a little bit of both. Posted by Chris at 01:08 PM >> Commentations (6)
