Microsoft, Yahoo!, Facebook: It’s A Great Time To Be A Mac User

Started by webomatica · 1 year ago

    The funny thing is -- none of the A-listers has the first farking clue about what's going to happen with MS and Yahoo. They're all talking out of their generously sized behinds.

    Whatever happens it will be interesting.

    I'm totally with you here - data portability is way undervalued.

    Switching away from Twitter was an ordeal. I moved my Dad away from Hotmail today, and that was so much more of a hassle than it should have been.

    I'm so sick of companies holding their users hostage. If there's something that can push me off of Facebook, it's that. I've probably said it before, but - I wish there were a better alternative to keeping people connected.

    Yeah it's tricky. The companies have a vested interest in keeping the data at their site since it's so valuable to advertisers. I think the worm is finally turning though, as users become more educated about the issue.

    I can't quit Yahoo! completely as I'm beginning to use Upcoming.org now. If there's an alternative, I'll give it a shot. I'm also a little on the fence with Flickr, but since I'm not a shutterbug, I'm leaning more towards not needing it. Facebook, meh. As for MS, until all the PC games I want to play can be installed natively on the Mac, I still gotta use an MS PC. However, for over a year and a half now I've done everything else at home with my MBP and couldn't be happier... until I get to work and have to deal with MS stuff. >_>

    Totally agree.

    Buying my Mac and quitting Micro$oft forever in 3 weeks ;-) I've been using Ubuntu as a primary OS for almost a month now.
