Being forced, forced I say, to switch up to the new Yahoo interface, I was immediately assaulted with 30 or so people with lengthy alphanumeric names who wanted to chat with me. None of whom I'd ever heard of, especially not you, Random Finnish Person. After more than a few irritated declines, I finally figured out that Yahoo has an in-window chat system, like Googletalk, only ten times as annoying and default-on. I turned it off.
But in the midst of all this shitty interface design, I also discovered I've had a yahoo acount for 13 years. Whoa! I mean, I remember when Google was invented, before they had anything other than a search algorithm and an ad plan. I remember asking, "You know that's not how googol is spelled, right?" Thems was the days.
Oh shit I have been in fandom 13 years. When I say "These kids today!" I might literally be referring to kids not yet born when I discovered fandom.
