Title: WHY ARE THERE SO MANY ICONS I MUST CATCH THEM ALL
Post by: helvetica on February 07, 2012, 06:33:02 AM
Oh yeah look at your profile, and check out account settings.  And then drop your jaw as you realize I just blew away your mind adding all of those useless social media and gaming tags and chatty nonsense links and icons to your profile.

Go ahead, click on the Raptr or the Steam icon on my post or profile.  Check out the awesome popout window I added to show Steam stats, your XBox Live gamertag and all those rounds of Extreme Cooking Mama Wrestling XXL you've played.

Ok. I'll stop complaining.

Maybe, I was thinking about Pixiv and a few other things too (like Last.fm).  Before I do that though I need to figure out a better way to add them to the setting screen instead of a gigantic list like it is now.

Don't fall for it, everyone! TSO just wants to datamine all our social networking accounts so she can sell our information to corporations!

I would have more icons, but I'm not a very sociable person.

It's not how many icons you have anyway, it's how you use them.

Whoa. That new tiny PM button is going to take some getting used to.

Either way I think these buttons are a nice addition.

You can always just click on their name and PM from there.

I like how I'm still one of the few people with ICQ.  I've had my account since it was run by Mirabilis.

I still remember my number but I don't remember my password and the email it was registered with is long gone.

For some inexplicable reason, eastern Europeans love ICQ, too. Would love to know why.

What sets it apart from any other IM client?

No idea.  How did Orkut become inexplicably linked with Brazilians?

Anyway, ICQ's owned by Russians now, so that may have something to do with it.  A little indirect NIH syndrome.

Yeah and the Japanese love Yahoo so whatever I stopped trying to make sense of any of it.  My messenger choices reflect directly whatever my friends around me at the time were using.  Since I moved around a lot I moved between Yahoo groups and MSN cliques and AIM congregations.  And now you tards mostly use Skype which makes no sense but whatever it's just another icon on my taskbar.
Title: Re: WHY ARE THERE SO MANY ICONS I MUST CATCH THEM ALL
Post by: Helepolis on February 09, 2012, 08:35:08 AM
I never understood ICQ and never felt the need for it. I had Yahoo for a while because of some forum I used to visit and most were there. I only got MSN messenger because of classmates. This is 1996~2001 or so we're talking about.

My guess is purely because of the activities or who you hang out with. Skype is dumb and retarted as a mass chat service and I only use it for voice-convo while gaming with RL friends or calling those neetpia guys.

IRC is still the best IMO. Simple, fast, clean.

True, unless people voice-twittering their gaming experience (from what I have heard in the past).
