Dear GOP: Before crowing about the superiority of your technology, please make sure your site isn't throwing errors the 2nd day it's up. #
Am I correct in my assessment that no one gives a shit about FriendFeed anymore? #
@stuntbox @snackish Bah! I want a "zine" app w/unreadable layouts & pretentiously written articles about bands I've never heard of! #
