Just because you said the opposite doesn't make it true. Both hit counters and social counters track user interaction. These days with auto follow bots you are probably more at risk for an inflated number.
The best viewed badge is also just people not wanting to build or test in IE. That sucks that people have to do their jobs. The equivalent in programming would be someone that doesn't want to recognize memory or processor limits. You work within constraints, so man up people.
- talmand 13y agoYou're right, but I was just stating my opinions on the writer's opinions. Just because he said something that I think the opposite of doesn't make him correct either. But I seriously disagree with you on hit counters since they could be set by the website's owner to whatever arbitrary number desired, the counter essentially meant nothing. A social counter is easily verified, assuming you trust the third party social network doing the counting. Encouraging people to upgrade to a better browser is a sign of laziness on the part of the developer? Sure you work within constraints, but sometimes when it comes to browsers your market demands features you can't deliver on the browser of their choice. Therefore, you suggest a better browser. Granted, some people are lazy so there is something to what you say, such as people who refuse to use any CSS prefixes other than -webkit.
