davewiner,

What have you built lately?

I'm officially tired of seeing the near-troll posts from scripting.com

So glad you made it official! :-)

Sorry, my comment wasn't exactly chalked full of useful criticism. I found this and the Firefox post to be largely rants with either no point or nothing new in the conversation. We know Google is struggling with social, we know people are trying to compete with Facebook without cloning them, and we know that privacy+social is hard. I just don't see what another "Firefox is jumped the shark" or "Google will fail again at social" contributes to the discussion.

Agreed that Mr. Winer likes to whine, but he's spot on with this one.
