“Web 3.0″ is coming, apparently.

…in the future, unless you’re going to take action, do something productive, fix whatever is broken, write the annoucement, turn up to the meeting, or whatever, please just stfu!

While working on a bug at work, www.amishfinefood.com turned up in industry ranking results. Now I don’t claim to be familiar with traditional Amish cuisine, but there a few wtf’s here:

• What’s up with the loading-splash-horse-thingy?
• indexx.php [sic] ????
• <marquee> tags! run!
• Never rely on images alone for navigation: http://www.amishfinefood.com/indexx.php/? (unless, of course, you can degrade gracefully)
• If basic gist of the Amish way is to shun technology of all forms, just wtf are these guys doing on the Internet?
• While may have been reluctantly into the use of the Internets as a distribution channel, do the really need to take the amatuer, wtf-are-standards, totally shite ‘traditional’ approach to web development?
• Try doing a search for a product called ‘%’… I didn’t know SQL Injection was traditional Amish fare!
• I guess expecting SSL for credit card transactions is just pushing things too far.

Now, where do I collect my complimentary DMCA take-down notice?

Am I the only person with a cynical view of the limp-wristed submissive whimper ‘response’ issued by Kevin Rose on behalf of Digg?
