I woke up this morning and thought "the world needs more browser extensions". Michael Arrington and I must be kindred souls, because there's a wonderful introduction to a company called Yoono over at TechCrunch.

Yoono is a browser extension that stores your bookmarks and can supposedly recommend content to you, based on what other users have bookmarked. It's rCache, minus the intellect, plus a heaping helping of suck.

After using Yoono for about 30 seconds, the novelty wears off and it feels something like being bukkaked with stupid. It's recommending that I read shit written in Japanese. Clearly there's no semantic content analysis going on here, they're just taking commonality metrics of sets of bookmarks. Oh yeah, that's really hard.

Supposedly you can use Yoono as a blogging tool or some sort. If there's one thing I crave as a blogger, it's the ability to blog from a Firefox extension instead of typing shit into a text box in the admin console. That would make my life so much easier.

Mix n' Match

Yoono is yet another random drawing of balls from the Web 2.0 urn. See, there's something like 8 features that constitute basis vectors for all of Web 2.0. Mix and match these, and you get Web 2.0 products. Considering the finite basis, there's only a finite number of Web 2.0 products, and something tells me that they've all been invented already. It's time to either invent new features (probably not gonna happen) or give up on life.

Come tell me what a retard I am in #uncov on Freenode.
