I think a lot of products are trivial. I don't use facebook. the slide slideshow thing looks ...stupid. But then I do understand that if you plague the entire internet with your "stupid" widget, you build a broadcasting platform. Even to the extent of that article about companies monetizing internet-user browsing profiles (beacons, 3rd party tracking cookies etc). Slide can make money installing these shady cookies across all of its trillion of pages. Sure don't know the actual numbers, but being a plague on the internet does have value.
