I'm back after a long break away from 23things!!
Unfortunately after having just worked my way through Doodle (in my own time, I hasten to add) I am feeling as grumpy as when I last left Netvibes.
At this moment in time I can see no point in either Netvibes or Doodle. I know, I know, I haven't really given them a chance but they don't seem to fulfill any function that I have not been able to live without before coming across them.
I hate the look of netvibes. It is extremely uninspiring in both its picture free layout and its plethora of options . I feel bombarded by the latest and greatest of everything all sitting there saying open me, open me.
Doodle - well - what is the point. It seems like an extremely unnecessary piece of kit. What's wrong with a phone/e-mail/text. Are they (the geeks of the world)making life more and more complicated just for the sake of it?
Maybe it will all make sense over time but I doubt it.
Onwards and upwards.

Welcome back! I am in agreement with you on Netvibes and Doodle. I suspect the 'geeks of the world' think they are trying to make things less complicated. Persevere though - some of the later 'things' are easier to get your head around, and dare I say it, fun as well!
ReplyDeleteI liked reading your post Judith.... and the way you have sent it out.... agree with quite alot you said but feel, like sarah lund ,that if you keep persevering you will find other Things are better than the likes of Doodle and Netvibes, so keep truckin....! Think you'll quite like LibraryThing actually!Now, since this is your day off my dear, go out there and do something that you really do enjoy doing! Happy weekend!
