Jeez, you’d think with all these new websites being released, something would tickle my fancy. Those that know me at all are aware of my disgust with social networking sites and their micromundane™ messages/status updates. There are just some things the entire world shouldn’t know about a person…

I mean, I recognize that I’m behind the times. I make no secret of that. Hell, I just recently started using del.icio.us. But I also sometimes stalk these lists of new software (and even attempt to contribute to them), and haven’t seen something I’d actually like to use in… well, maybe ever, because it turns out I haven’t been using any of them!

What’s it take for somebody to come up with a new killer app that I’ll use everyday? I think the last time this happened, it was YouTube, which I adore (also some of its less G-Rated ripoffs). Other offerings as of late have been maddeningly unoriginal or pointless, including MapJack — which is basically Google Street View with a different view? For fuck’s sake it even uses the Google Maps API! What is the point?

Here’s to looking forward to the next new idea…
