1. buzzfeed rebrands mouse-over Javascript as “rubbable GIFs”

    katherinestasaph:

    Maybe I am just a total pedantic fucking geek clinging to outdated, inaccessible technological jargon of geeky ingroups, and I guess it’s well established that I am anti-fun or whatever… but on the other hand, RUBBABLE. GIFS. That aren’t even GIFS. 

    Let’s rebrand everything!

    Clicking = poking

    Double-clicking = Facebook poking, you know, the kind of poking when you like-like someone

    Dragging and dropping: Giving your icons a piggyback ride

    Scrolling = Psyche! Scrolling will still consist of trying to carefully pry the invisible disappearing scrollbar away from your desktop and the ads on the side of the screen, like a game of Operation! 

    I love Katherine.

    You all might be laughing, but buzzfeed is about to make a LOT more money for, like, 3 months selling this completely...
