whats the worst web culture development of the last 18 months

Write in for your mom's porn site.

check and mate.

Inane, useless anti-BNP petitions featuring the names of hundreds of people who didn't go out and vote when it would actually have meant something.

All facebook protest groups basically.

good one.

wait so yelpers being clueless is a recent development? i never visit yelp but i though that was its defining trait from the get

anyway foe me its a tossup between twit-cloned facebook statuses and the quizzy ok-cupidization of facebook

yeah I hope none of my facebook friends feelings get hurt if I NEVER EVER join any of their groups EVER. No, I don't care if Michael Phelps smoked pot, but I will not join your group "backing" him.

^ o.g.

I have strong agreement with option 1 even though I used the term "hatfail" to describe the dude who twittered about how terrible he was at knowing how to keep a job at The New Yorker.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

people using 'listen to me SHEEPLE!' to mock dissenting opinions

yelp cause food snobs are the most insufferable kind of snob, in my experience

okay, what is yelp?

i've never seen anyone do the #fail thing! but i'd probably vote yelp anyway

Fyi--there are no food snobs on yelp--food snobs like food and enjoy going to restaurants--yelpers don't understand food and are usually sub-literate

i've had some good and bad experiences with yelp. I wish someone would invent something better

#aznyelpfail

whiney what was your "bad" experience with yelp?

fyi i voted for yelp in this poll.

votes very much in character ; )

xp yeah ok i don't know any real food snobs, just the ones that are full of shit

i voted yelp, because its business practices are actually immoral.

yelp isn't that bad is it? i've used it to find decent hairstylists, at least.

ooooh but reading about yelp threatening business owners with bad reviews if they didn't pay up made me mad. totally destroying any pretense of integrity.

whiney what was your "bad" experience with yelp?

I got recommended a sushi place in midtown and it was dirty and shitty and gross and not very good food.

But I've found my share of yummy places too, so whatever

there are a lot of places, on the internet and elsewhere, to find "yummy places," where i dont have to read 800-word parody-raps about the quality of a restaurants tapas

custos is a yelper?

people that YELP are scumbags.

fail reaching its shark-jump/general use moment is actively annoying whereas you really only have to think about yelp if you decide to. when I saw "see you to hell" there was some dude saying "epic fail" every time anything remotely harsh happened to anybody. this is the 2nd time I have mentioned this because it totally sucked, the end.

u shouldve told him that if he didnt stfu he really would get dragged 2 hell. by u.

then he couldve yelped about the experience afterwards as part of his popcorn and soda review

#punfail

"NOM NOM NOM" is by far the worst thing, especially when I try to have a pub meal with a female friend who does this ALL THE FUCKING TIME WE GO FOR A PUB MEAL.

just because you have a friend who overuses it doesn't mean it's anything short of awesome. yelpers are clearly the horriblest.

"see you to hell"? ...must... resist...

"NOM NOM NOM" is by far the worst thing, especially when I try to have a pub meal with a female friend who does this ALL THE FUCKING TIME WE GO FOR A PUB MEAL.

Wait I didnt know u knew my friend S@rah.

(she does it with attendant cutsey "grab yr arm and nom on it" actions too)

Really? Jeez.

Wait - people like say "nom" outloud??

YES

IT'S AS ANNOYING AS YOU WOULD IMAGINE

Oh God.

You think thats bad, one of my friends actually Rolled On the Floor Laughing in a supermarket at 3am once.

Well, she *was* being intentionally stoopid but hey...

My annoying nom friend is a sweet lovely woman she really is! but unfortunatley she has one of those "doesnt know when to stop" senses of humour.

i ate a bad falafel once in new york and then twittered #falafail

i thought that was pretty cool

if i could tho i would vote for "donating your status" / making your avatar green

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
