The snarkiness of critics
Wow, what a nasty shot. Some guy writes a daily blog on MS stuff – and in a paragraph making fun of MSN as a portal (and some of the silly things they tried in an attempt to gain market share), he made this snide comment:Those days are largely laughed about today, in the same…
