So if you're in the dark on all this drama, Tweetie, a Twitter client for the iPhone that I think is one of the best (if not the best) on the platform has a substantial upgrade coming. Since the App Store doesn't offer any kind of upgrade pricing, Tweetie 2 is being sold as a separate app for $2.99. Tweetie 2 is a complete rewrite of the original, with oodles of new features and functionality without sacrificing any usability, much like the original. A full review with all the features is available here- http://smokingapples.com/software/reviews/tweetie-2-review-detailed-look/ So, regardless of the fact that Tweetie is a brand new app, and people have paid $3 for something they use every single day, paying again for the upgraded version is completely out of the question. The internet has exploded with the standard price whining that oddly has become so commonplace surrounding anything to do with the App Store. Macworld put up a pretty hilarious article about the whole fiasco- http://www.macworld.com/article/143073/2009/09/tweetie2_pricing.html But the true hilarity didn't come in until Alyssa Milano decided to weigh in on this egregious pricing model- http://www.businessinsider.com/alyssa-milano-doesnt-want-to-pay-3-for-her-twitter-app-2009-9 Who knew $3 would cause so much drama?
Jeeeezzz!!! That is hilarious I love the opening line, B-list Bombshell Alyssa Milano, hahahahhahaha. That is too, too funny. I wonder if she was on the A-list if she'd make such a big deal? 3 bucks 1/3 of a movie ticket, a subway ride, hahahha
That last example of one of her tweets is one of the very reasons I can't friggin' stand Twitter and the Twitter generation. This "must be in communication at all times" BS just has to stop. Seriously...I don't even like hearing my own goddamn thoughts every minute of every day...so why in the hell would I care that a "B-list bombshell" is standing next to some dude that smells like stank shit or what she thinks about him? I don't even think her friends care about that nonsense. And what the frig' ever happened to just telling someone they stink like they shat themselves? Or how about, y'know, just moving the frig' away from them without standing there and friggin' tweeting about it? I hate Twitter and everyone who tweets all the goddamn time, same as I hate those jackasses who text every friggin' minute of every friggin' day. Anyone who complains about a $3 price on a something that isn't even a goddamn necessity in life should be slapped upside the head with their phones. There's only one type of folk that Twitter is a necessity for: journalists, and only because it's a real time tool that they can use to learn and break news. Everyone else needs to get a grip.
