Suicide? Gmail seems to survive fine. I'm glad people didn't think like you back when email was invented, or we'd still be stuck on our old 5 MB Hotmail account

Suicide? Gmail seems to survive fine. I'm glad people didn't think like you back when email was invented, or we'd still be stuck on our old 5 MB Hotmail accounts (or worse!). People who designed and built systems with their users in mind... those are much better role models than companies like Twitter who build proprietary walled gardens. And going as far as to say Twitter is "OSS's best role model" is just absurd.
- mythz 15y agoRe: Gmail. I can see now that you're conceptually challenged unable to grasp key differences. Gmail operates very similar to Twitter, Google Open Sources their JavaScript platform which Gmail (and other core properties) are built on (https://developers.google.com/closure/library/ https://developers.google.com/closure/library/) but they're not stupid enough to Give away the entire Gmail source code - which you seem to imply.
