*sigh* I’ve been told flat-out that Bay Area techies have got a real condescending attitude problem. There’s a reason why the beta-testers of Google Glass are called “Glassholes”. Oh, and keeping up with Daisy Barringer via Twitter… um, long story about someone I call a “Breck shampoo girl” who was trolling her about an article about calling San Francisco “Frisco”. It’s either software engineer social ineptness, or social media melodramatics, I guess.
Probably both. I have personally found the Google people I have contacted (with the exception of Rick Klau) to be arrogant and out of touch with reality. It wouldn’t surprise me if this was the prevailing attitude in some of the firms there, especially the big ones like Google and Facebook. I’m not holding my breath for Facebook to be fixed—22½ hours and counting.
“They have each evolved into narrow categories: Tumblr for visual stimulation, Twitter for quick comments, Instagram for sharing images and following some hobbies.” I beg to differ, regarding Tumblr. For example, there are many science and nature blogs that whilst they draw you in with visual images, have informative text. Then there are the text posts that evolve with additional comments from each reblogger. I find these are quite unique to Tumblr. Tumblr has the potential to be much more interactive than it currently is, if only someone would come up with an easy way to reply to posts and chat.
Hi Toni: I was only referring to my usage of these platforms, not everyone’s (as they are bound to differ).
