Last time it came up people were complaining how they don't use it and hate it. This is not a debate, it's nagging.

Just because many people agree with you doesn't mean you are right. It's often opportunism. M$ will surely try block it, either technically or by law. For the uninitiated M$ is the short version for Microsoft. I may be childish, but it has

Last time I said that GMail is unreliable and thus you should not use it for crucial communications I was downvoted by at least a 12 people. I wonder if those people believe it when CNN tells you it's repeatedly broken. Unless of course man

Now please refrain from telling us again how useless Twitter is. By now we know that some people don't actually like or use it.

The problem with sites like LinkedIn is that they own your name and can sell it back to you. When you use them they own your contacts as well and will stop you from contacting your peers when you don't pay (LinkedIn competitor Xing already

It looks ridiculous, like a kitchen stool. Using it outside the kitchen might result in gatherings of laughing bystanders. Compared to this the YikeBike is really cool: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=810787

I did not indicate in my comment that the article says so, I wrote that I SAID SO before. This is obviously the first step on the way to blocking it. Please try to read first and understand before complaining. Comments are not for repeating
