Its not a very insightful note, more a bitch really. Here’s an Open-Letter I’m sending to the creators of ringo.com (a poor rip-off of Flickr). Flickr works, always did… Ringo doesn’t, yet I’ve heard excuses and then the ‘I don’t cares’ of family members this evening as I tried in vein to convert them… I don’t like it when I sign up for something I have to opt out of 15 (at least 15) newsletters/spam, I don’t like having to be a member of anything to keep up to date, I don’t like obtrusive ads, I hate slow servers, I hate poor quality compression, I hate lazy standard-raping design. I hate ringo too. My short letter went:
you need RSS feeds, if your advertisers can’t handle that- improve your site design, server speeds etc. etc….
…i would not use this ’service’ if it were not for my family’s eager stupidity. by which i mean i am only using this because people have locked themselves into your little game, without knowing it they’re stuck. do you offer an export system?
perhaps you should just give in, have you seen Flickr? if i were you I’d question whether it was worth getting up in the morning.

I just recieved an automated e-mail telling me I should not respond, but reassuring me someone would not ignore my e-mail, maybe read it and not respond - but not ignore my “Suggestions”. I hate fake 2.0 - I e-mailed Thor at ValleyShwag this morning, I got a personal reply in 2 minutes flat. It was 6AM where he is. damn! If you want my hard earned, don’t spam me and don’t advertise on me… don’t automate response me either- what is this 2000 again. Holy mother of Tim Curry I’ve had a bad day.
no one cares callum
I do (w00t AJAX works again).
Higglesby cares, too.
Higglesby doesn’t even know where to BEGIN.
Word.
Ringo sucks and because stupid people use it, it forces others to use it too. Smart work by the creaters of Ringo I suppose. But this website threatens my sanity everytime a friend posts a photo.
