remember when the gnaa found out that xanga had a xss exploit you could embed in it, and also that slashdot had a query you can execute that scanned the whole db, and combined the 2 to DDOS slashdot.

anyway i forgot zynga more than wave. one of my friends tried pushing google wave bigtime back when it came out. we never really got into it. now he's a jordan peterson fan who believes blm is a cultural marxist plot to destroy american culture.

was it zynga that got bought out for a ridiculous amount of money then immediately their entire user base fell apart?

anyway i was thinking about google wave the other week so i forgot about zynga the most.

how can you have *forgotten* more about something you didn't originally know anything about?

similarly i have forgotten very little about wave or zynga since i knew fuckall about them to start with. slashdot though is properly slipping from memory.

sup, bitch?
google wave was stupid and for nerds so it never entered the mainstream consciousness. roughly no one remembers it.

zynga was the number one maker of exploitative IAP facebook games for olds and children, and then became one of the biggest App Store purveyors of the same. FarmVille and Words with Friends were their biggest hits. this made them a vc darling, their valuation exploded, they bought a whole bunch of other game makers. in that sense, they impacted many more people than wave. also something about their CEO being a scumbag, I don’t remember the details.
