Websites That Don't Need to Be Made Anymore
They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but there is a finite number of social networking or selling websites that the world needs. Here is a collection of the eight kinds of websites that absolutely don't need to be made anymore. I'd add dating sites and anybody who uses pop-up ads myself, but I think that would eliminate half the Web.
1) "top 8 things" style articles
2) articles about apple loosing stuff
I think it's just a problem with the CSS on Idle. If you remove "idle." from the URL it uses the default CSS, and everything looks normal again. Almost annoying enough to see if there's a Greasemonkey script to replace the Idle CSS with normal CSS on the fly.
God invented whiskey so the Irish would not rule the world.
Website that make you log in to even view things.. WTF is that? A members only club that anyone can be a part of? You know how many of those sites have bugmenot logins? your site is a failure, stop being a power freak, You wont get my real email address anyways...
A Website with those damned popups when you roll over a word... OMFG! I want to physically harm the guy that runs that site that has those.
Sound of ANY KIND.. a pop up of your ugly face talking to me in flash? I dont think so. It's not neat, its not cool. It's dumb and makes me want to never go to your site again.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
There is another alternative. It's called OpenID, and it works great. Sites just need to implement it.
Really? In the 1980s I could call up any number of virtual servers on the fly for a few dollars per month?
Cloud computing in the sense of buying time on a time-sharing computer system has been around since the mainframe days. Cloud computing in the sense of relying on an application service provider has also been around since the mainframe days.
