I think that's a little high horse. Most "internet" companies don't bring us any new blow out technology or societal benefit. Twitter for example is basically just a way for narcissist to talk about themselves. Not that there is anything wrong with that but to claim an Internet company is a better way to contribute to the greater good than is stock trading is just silly.

- redcap 17y agoWhile there is a lot of horseshit being fed into the twitter system, I do know that it's being used as an alternative communication mechanism (maybe just because it's a fad?) and quite sucessfully in some areas - wasn't it doing at least some good in Iran? I don't have a beef against stock trading in general, just the uber hyped money generating system that it fuels and the fact that it seems to make the rich richer and drain the brain market who in my opinion should be doing something more productive - making stuff that could be helping people even if it's in often unremarkable or in a horseshit fashion like Twitter can.
