Today, some of us became witnesses to the sad reality that several people still don't know how to use their browsers, computers, internet or Facebook. In a fiasco involving an article about a merger between Facebook and AOL and the Google search term "facebook login", the comments section of information blog Read Write Web became the greatest example of internet stupidity and illiteracy ever...and a sad representation of the immense fail that is society.
Here's the gist. People open their browser of choice and land on the Google homepage somehow. They enter "facebook login" in the search bar and click on the first few results...which in the case of Google are the blog articles discussing this proposed merger of AIM and Facebook Login API. People blindly click on the article, probably holding some false trust in Google search results, and are led to the Read Write Web (http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/facebook_wants_to_be_your_one_true_login.php) article. Aware of the new and recent changes to actual Facebook, they assume the Read Write Web site to be "the new Facebook" and become outraged and frustrated. They end up logging into RWW using the Facebook Login button, and provide their frustrated comments. And internet hilarity ensues. The idiocy flows, and it is quite saddening. Does no one know how to use the address bar in a browser anymore? The article even goes so far as to provide a BOLD LETTERED CAPS ENABLED warning mid-article for the wayward arrivees from Google Search, but they should know better. The stupid don't read. I know that from my own webcomic metrics. And TSA. And Disneyland. The article is pretty interesting, but the comments are even more hilarious, and they go on for (at time of this posting) 14 pages! http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/facebook_wants_to_be_your_one_true_login.php Is anyone else saddened by how stupid these people are? |
