don’t be hate’n

It is important to review the good with the bad. And this is about as bad as it gets.

Loren from 1938media.com has a review. Don’t watch if you have sensitive ears, but he has a scathing review of Seesmic. There are lots of comments that follow, which are equally humorous.

Some of my favorite responses:

You are right about one thing. It’s a horrible waste of time to click on a video just to watch some douchebag talk about nothing. Sorry I clicked on this one.

Thank God for intellectual, witty, and FRENCH people that bring some happiness to this world! :)

And a point that I wanted to make, but chris brought it up first, so I’ll let him speak.

many good points except the flash issue. i totally disagree. the flash/flex framework IS the future, especially with the new papervision3D implementation. while flash loaders might be so 90’s, ajax has proved its limits in cross-browsers compatibility. get over it : web 3.0 won’t be ajax, but AS3/flex/papervision3D.

In addition to what chris says, I want to point out and make sure everyone realizes that the loader is a part of Flex. Go go any new Flex site, and they have loaders.

Even the blog writer himself makes a valid point in the comments which made me chuckle:

I wasn’t starting a conversation, I didn’t ask for or care what your opinion is. I was lecturing you. Understand the difference?

Seesmic’s fearless leader chimes in a couple times, including the following:

nice way to get attention Loren, congratulations, I actually had some fun watching you, thank you for that, you should come back to Seesmic we would have interesting conversations.
