1.) Y2K! Yes the infamous and hyped for money Y2K! It was a huge hoax that companies fueled it to the point that people were waiting for the world to screech to a dead halt. Some say that more than $4B was spent to fix the none-existent problem. We lived thru it and we are still here! Epic Fail – Daylight Rubbery!
2.) FaceBook Content Rubbery: changes its tune and now it says whatever you create on their system, belongs to them! Belongs to them? Yes sir! The own everything that you put on their system and they do what they please with it! Surprisingly they get away with it with minimal pain. Epic Fail (on part of the Community) – Daylight Rubbery (on part of FaceBook)!
3.) Twitter Hack: Now this was so stupid, since whatever twitter receives, it spills it out immediately to the public, so what is the point of hacking an open system that has nothing inside? Just to show off? What? I can’t think if anything else. Epic Fail!
4.) Social media updates: FaceBook – Twitter – Ustream have been spitting out updates like there is no tomorrow! Enough already, since most of updates leave the existing bugs in place and introduces more bugs! Let us deal with the bugs that we have learned how to deal with and keep the new ones to yourself! Epic Fail!
5.) Gmail Crashes: While Google’s Gmail was in beta, it never crashed. Since it has been declared out of beta and officially released, it keeps crashing. What gives? Can we take Gmail back to Beta? As a Software Engineer I have never heard of an application or service that has gone from version 1.0 to version 0.9 beta! Have you? Epic Fail!
6.) Google Wave: We were counting the days as to when we received our invite to the launch of Google Wave. Incidentally, I got my invite in the first week of the Wave launch. It can be and amazing tool, but has it fizzled out already? I think Google has done a terrible job of advertizing and expanding the product. I won’t be surprised that the close it up as they did with Grand Central. Epic Fail (on Google’s part)!
