Nothing pisses me off more than firing up an app on my
Android tablet, or maybe even my Chrome browser, and then being whisked away to
the “apps” website where I can use their service. I have a better idea. Why not
instead of an app give me a link to your website and we can call them bookmarks?
What idiot initially named those bookmarks anyway? They’re not in a book, they’re
in a browser. Regardless, calling a link to your website is fraudulent. It’s
the same as me selling you a copy of my latest album, and when you put it on it
tells you where you can buy my latest album. Okay, so that’s worse, but this
whole links pretending to be apps shit is pissing me off.
I have readers in a dozen countries and on six
continents, so I think it’s time we declare war. When you see an applink, rank them one star
and leave a negative comment, preferably linking them to this post. They’re not
apps, they’re bookmarks, and no one deserves credit for telling someone where
they can play Angry Birds. I hate that shit.
