Gotta Keep Em Separated
Why does every online program want to integrate with the others? Is this necessary? I don’t think it is.
Facebook and Twitter? Ok, I get that, sorta. I don’t like it though. I don’t want to see your stupid “OMG Great Episode!! #24 #JackBauer #Jack #Bauer #Kiefer #Ihopeyouaccidentallyfindthisinasearchthenmaketheconsciousdecisiontofollowmebecausemytweetsaresoclever status messages. But whatever, I’ll deal.
But why does my Netflix need to be with my Facebook? Does anyone care what movie I’m watching? If I thought there was one of particular interest, I’d take the 17 seconds out of my life to manually type a status about it.
What’s next? Maybe my health insurance website can hook up with my Twitter and automatically Tweet things like “I might be passing a kidney stone this week! #kidneystones #excrutiatingpain #TMI”. Or perhaps we can find a way to integrate my microwave with Facebook. “… is currently popping Super Extra Buttery Movie Theater Style Popcorn for 2:25 on High!”
Here’s one I’d be cool with: we find a way where I can set up my camera near my bed, then it takes a picture of me sleeping, posts it somewhere, then the more Diggs it gets, the better dreams I have. Go ahead, programmers, figure that one out and you’ll be back in my good graces.
