    We at Pepsi thought this would make us money. We are sorry that it won't make us money. Please accept our apology so that we can make money. #ampupbeforeyouscore

    I wonder what made them finally pull the app? They completely failed at making a delayed apology and repeatedly stood by the application despite the criticism.

    Sigh. This makes quitting my diet soda habit so much easier. #ampupbeforeyouscore

    More reasons to do a little creative googling of potential dates, kids. I'd want to know if my Friday night was keeping score on the tubes, via this or any other means.

    Did you all hear the blurb on NPR about this this morning? Steve Inskeep was all, "Pepsi's app, 'Amp Up Before You Score", which provided pickup lines for various stereotypical women such as the "foreign exchange student" and the "nerd" has been pulled. The app was targeted at the stereotypical customer, presumably the 'idiot'." I was all like oh damn Steve Inskeep! Can we be friends? #ampupbeforeyouscore

    The app should also explain that drinking a ton of Pepsi and then hooking up is generally a bad idea, as it could lead to a coitus interruptus to urinatus type situation. #ampupbeforeyouscore

    @morninggloria: If it was a robust enough app, one could conceivably enter the expected time of scoring, and the app would have an alarm reminding the score-keeping douche to pee X amount of time beforehand.

    I really need to get out of IT. #ampupbeforeyouscore

    The meme evolved gradually from 2000 to 2008, I think, beginning coincidentally when GWB was "elected" Commander in Chief.

    Or, as my grandfather might have said: "When a fish begins to stink, it starts at the head."

    I am a blackberry addict. My data usage minutes are in the tens of thousands every month (unlimited plan, whatwhat!) (Though I hate actually talking on the phone). But, a week and a half ago, my phone was stolen. I have yet to replace it. The first thing everyone says to me when they find out: Wow, that must be kind of freeing.

    And it is. #iphoneaddicts

    My friends were so gadget entranced that I had to create some "if you wanna be my friend rules". 1. If you consistently whip our whatever your devise da jour is while we're out doing something together, I will leave. Period. End of Story. 2. If you're incapable of sending me, and only me, an e-mail and rely upon twitter or texts to communicate--chances are our friendship will dwindle and fade away. 3. If you're not capable of picking up the telephone or seeing me in person (as opposed to "knowing" me via facebook/twitter), then it's blatantly obvious we're not really friends.

    Needless to say, I had about 2/3 of my friends disappear. The other 1/3 have all said how much they like the real communication so much better and that they feel our friendships have gotten better or gotten back to what they used to be before the influx of all this "convenience".

    And I feel so much more connected to those people--I feel like our friendships are real again. #iphoneaddicts

    @quietlygoingmad: THIS. I need to do this. There was a guy in my dorm that hated texting because he believes it is destroying our society. I thought he was overreacting until I realized how much nicer it is to have a conversation without them constantly checking their phone, laughing about something someone who is not present said, and texting while you speak. It's so rude and I hate it. HATE it.

    Also, why are people incapable of communicating via private messages on facebook? I took down my wall within months of starting my page and the result? First people thought they were on a limited view page and felt shunned. Then when I assured them they were not, they just stopped talking to me. Because if the world can't see, I guess it's not worth it. #iphoneaddicts

    @Blueberry26: My facebook page is strictly for people who love more than 30 miles away from me. Anyone else can easily get together with me or pick up the phone (for free!) and call me. That too pissed a bunch of folks off, but that's their problem, not mine. #iphoneaddicts

    It's kind of like "the mother-in-law problem" there's a need for the cord to be cut... Too many people think "ooh that's cute" when the gadget is being used as a tool to further attention directed at them, but once you're a couple, this social-enabling tool becomes a crutch and a hindrance.

    I have been a tech-widower... But recovered, now matured - I rarely even talk on the phone in the car at all anymore. Tech is no substitute for what remains of the clean air...

    That said, I just got a Palm Pre, and it is quite fun to tinker w/... #iphoneaddicts
