Dear Internets (or more specifically: people making teh internets),

Please stop adding idiotic 'Beta' turdlets to your logos and sites. It might have been cool once. Now it's just lame. Especially when it stays there for years. Or when you're managing people's money (sign up to see the Beta turdlet on the logo - and to feel extra special about the security of your financial info on a 'beta' site).

Honestly, it's time to grow up. Take responsibility for your shoddy work and any bugs you may have. Just fix them if they exist, and move on. Stop pretending that any bugs that people might run into are a result of how incredibly hip your site is.

And besides, wasn't this whole web 2.0 'revolution' about getting away from monolithic development? Wasn't it a new expression and 'consciousness' of agility?

Nothing screams monolithic like a friggin' Beta moniker/turdlet.

So knock it off. You're making me cranky.

Love,

--Mikeey
