Geomicroblogging, Buzzword or Reality?
An anonymous reader writes "The iPhone 3G and Android devices are coming this year, opening the mobile world for rich applications, while sites like Fire Eagle and byNotes are ready to move your blogging habits into the geospatial world. Are we going to watch the next boom when those devices and geospatially enabled sites get combined? Sure, the posibilities this would open are endless, but are users going to embrace these services?" I don't see how it can't change the world ... it has 'Micro' and 'Blog' in the name, and I'll always know where I was when I twittered to tell everyone I was in the john.
"I know, i'm the guilty party here, but this wasn't a conscious decision."
Yes it was.
"I did not come to the realization at some young[er] age that I could either embrace a technologically rich existence, or not."
You're 21 you fucking tool, that IS some younger age blah blah blah.
God damn, you stupid whiny fuck, put the phone away and live. Or alternately, keep blaming the fact that you're a loser on something other than your own loser decisions and keep on living as a loser.
"I completely blame this trend on the availability of information."
Of course you do, but no one cares because, just like an addict who blames the drug, we don't have much respect for douchebag losers who blame inanimate objects (or in your case, data) for the sum of choices you make.
Blame whoever you like twat, YOU are responsible. And yes, my language is harsh, but I don't suffer whiny losers like you very well, especially when they don't accept responsibility for their situation and claim impotence in changing it.
