I just had to post something here about this because it totally blew me away. Not to pick on the folks at Alice Hill’s RealTechNews<\/a>, but I was just reading a post they had about something, and down near the bottom there was a gigantic line of icons, each of which represented a social-networking website where you could click and either submit the post or bookmark it or whatever. <\/p>\n
