isos To Move Blog To Pure AJAX (Take That Sullivan And Tabke)

February 8th, 2006 by mike

After having watched on the sidelines as Danny Sullivan and Brett Tabke played “Whose stupid Blog idea is more cutting edge and Web 2.0″, isos have decided enough is enough. No more will we watch. No more will we sit by and see our brilliance forgotten in a sea of mediocrity!

isos clearly lead the world in Web 2.0-ishness, and we are sick to death of people claiming their awful ideas are Web 2.0 when they are, at best, Web 1.3.48.12, aka the “Sucker branch” of Web 1.X.Y.

I mean come on ppl. A CSS blog? Pffft! That is so Web 1.0.3.11. And a robots.txt blog? That is sooooooo Web 0.9.67.12 I can’t believe it! And lets get real for second, Web 0.9.67.12 was before they even agreed on how to spell “center” (I still can’t believe we lost that one. It’s the Queen’s English people, not Murcan’s English).

And these, these, these third rate ideas claiming to be Web 2.0, or as we here at isos call it, Web 2.0: The Second Coming Of The Great White, Pasty Faced Male Geek Hope At Being Rich Enough To Have a Supermodel Girlfriend.

I mean pulease! Where is the AJAX? JavaScript even. Where is it, huh? NOWHERE, that’s where. Where are the convoluted calls to XML for no real discernable reason? Nowhere. Those Blogs are so not Web 2.0 it isn’t funny.

But not the new isos Blog. Oh no. We sat down and thought this bugger out. We thought “how do we take the cutting edge, too cool for school, and certainly too cool for Web 2.0, industry leading programming talents and visionary sophistication that created such simplistically convoluted systems as the ground breaking Trapeziodal Linking Matriflux and produce a Blog that truly sets new industry standards in one upmanship that only other geeks would understand, appreciate and, yes we need it, validate as truly worthy?”

And then the solution struck us: JavaScript Alerts! They have become our trademark, in part because I am too lazy to do anything else, but also because, well, they just are, ok!

And let me tell you, they work. And the best bit is, they put YOU in control. Lil Joe Public, Torka Public even for the Y-chromosome bereft, have the ultimate power to choose to read or not read our brilliantly satirical on-topic hilarity. No more “I don’t know if I could be arsed reading that post. It sure doesn’t sound like it will be funny. And quite frankly the title makes it sound a little too obscure even for me.”

No, because now, with this revolutionary decision to move to AJAX (well, JavaScript actually, but don’t tellteh VCs), you can finally say to yourself “SIGH, isos has so jumped the Shark. They have fully sold out, the sellouts. I remember when they invented UPONG, and that Matriflux thingey. Good times. Now they just post long-winded rubbish that I can’t stand. $^^%$$# it, I am gonna go read Grey Hat News instead. At least when they aren’t funny, their posts are short”.

So, fair world, I tell thee, prepare for the dawning of the new era, as isos unveil: The Ultimate Web 2.0 Blogging Iterface Of All Time v 1.01.
