Best of the Rest: Web's Most Annoying Things, Twitter Good Mornings

by Thomas Houston on October 19, 2009 at 07:09 PM


There's a load of great tech news happening out there every day, and, unfortunately, we just can't cover it all. Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web.
  • The Telegraph rounds up the 50 most annoying things on the Internet. Smart enough to include the inescapable list itself, this, uh, list nails all those things we love to hate, including social media gurus, fake viral videos, and videos that automatically begin playing. [From: Telegraph]
  • Watching the rush of "good morning" tweets flooding into Twitter gets old after a minute or two. Fortunately, someone has mapped all those tweets onto an animated globe, letting you watch the world wake up and start tweeting. [From: Vimeo]
  • McSweeney's Internet Tendency asks you to identify: YouTube comment or e.e. cummings. Good luck. [From: McSweeney's Internet Tendency]
  • You've seen Ben Heck's PS3 Slim laptop, the one-handed Xbox 360 controller, and portable Nintendo 64. Now, watch as Heck repurposes and hacks together old game systems on the latest episode of The Engadget Show. [From: Engadget]
