Let YAHOO! fuck up your product.
15.12.2005
Do you remember Konfabulator? It was a nice program. If i'm not wrong Apple ripped off the idea for his OS. This piece of software had a big boom when Yahoo! decided to buy it and making it free. That was very nice 4 months. But yesterday Yahoo! finalized the process of convert the software. And guess what?! The tool was showing a popup saying that the version 3.0 was ready to download. I was looking on the website to see what they did for this new version, but there was no information on the website (that btw was really slow). So somehow I decided to download it and try it today. It's not Konfabulator anymore, now it's Yahoo! Widgets. That's alright I can understand it, but I won't have a program that crashes (Konfabulator never crashed before) and asks for silly questions and tries to change the default website in my browser for Yahoo!'s one. That's LAME!

del.icio.us you mean... that's exactly what i was thinking about... luckily I have my own tags manager and i don't depend on del.icio.us for that :D

i presume they will try to join del.icio.us with the "my web" idea that yahoo! users have.

Yo lo instalé y si bueno... a parte del estupido nombre que le han puesto, guarda en otra carpeta todos los widgets (al menos puedes recuperarlos reescribiendolos en la nueva)... pero vamos, no me ha fallado ni nada... lo veo exactamente igual, solo que con un nombre estúpido.

PD. Si, me pidio si queria la barra de yahoo y no se cuantas mierdas mas al principio, pero con decir que no...

Is not that I don't care about what you have to say, of course I do, but they are speaking louder and I lost my patience :(
