Legions of social networking junkies migrated from Facebook to Twitter (including your humble reporter) despite the fact that it spent much of the year in such rickety condition that it often just didn’t work at all. (When it was up and running, much of the conversation seemed to consist of bitching about its hiccups.) Failwhale, the cetacean bearer of bad news about Twitter’s status somehow managed to become a folk antihero to Twitterfans.

Good job, but I you seem to be applauding Apple too much (don’t worry, engadget does it too…but unlike with you people make fun of them!). I mean, Steve Jobs not doing the Mac Expo isn’t THAT huge of a story…Microsoft’s ad campaign and XP’s refusal to die (ironically both Microsoft stories) had more buzz than Jobs not doing the Expo.

Nice work – although I almost agree with Relyt… a bit too much Appletalk for us old school Microsoft geeks who are too stuck in our way to move to Apple. I wonder what the stories of 2009 will be – my guess is that electronic medical records and personal health records will be up there!

i work in the cellphone industry so with my perspective, its pretty near impossible to overemphasize the impact the i-phone has had.
