Couchdb isn't making fun

My only comment in months thinks this is making fun of me.

I guess miss how he is making fun, but given that he used a medium that I am positive is a waste of electricity to do it, meh.  I imagine that he would disagree with my opinion about his product, and I am sure that CouchDB isn't a one trick pony so if he doesn't see it as a threat to his business model good for him. 

The first time I heard of Couchdb was in relation to its offline capabilities, so that is really the only thought/impression of the software I have.  With all the more press I see about CouchDB it is probably the only opinion others have too.  I thought that since Google is more or less abandoning Gears in favor of supporting the standards process with HTML5, I though that the offline capabilities of CouchDB would be an obvious next to fall.

Either way, Damien Katz visited my blog that makes me feel special.  I suppose I managed to heckle Hugh into commenting here too, so apparently you never know how much vanity searching is going on on the web.

Cute robot for uselessness (Twitter)

Gizmodo damn it this is cute, and useless! I wonder if you can create a cardboard body (or something that looks like cardboard) that is mobile and flexible?

Oh how I hope twitter dies

Oh, the twits in this life. Today I came up with what I will start calling people that use twitter, twits.

140 characters of wasted breath.

That was my twitter tribute for the day, did you notice it was 140 characters? This is the breadth of the message that twits are able to transfer, you to say more, but have to abandon English and move to l337 abbreviations @othertwits and the other insular, pointless jargon they create to accommodate a service that isn't worth the electricity that it takes to keep the servers running. Ask the twitter twits how they hope to make money. No really go ahead.

I have a shorter answer, they won't. Interesting how Evan's other ventures don't make money either. Ask Google, if they can show you how Blogger has made them money and all your likely to find out is that it doesn't make money on it own. So Mr. Williams "successful" project actually only is useful to help Adsense get more web property displaying ads, and building Google goodwill. Odeo was an abject failure, in idea, timing, and execution and now the twit has convinced other twits to tweet. Good on ya, but I cannot wait for this fad to die.
