Why do Germans always want special treatment?
I don't get it. When taking a look at the internet culture I am always fracked by being German.
Social networking with Germans is always a pain in the ass, because they always do something special and avoid getting connected to the rest of the world this way. I know it's a matter of opinion somehow, but I can't really get the point when it comes to building up a special German clone called "MeinVZ" or "StudiVZ" instead of just using Facebook like every other person on the planet does. You may always argue that you shouldn't roll with the mainstream or you shouldn't give a single service too much power, which is perfectly right. But when just building up a German version of it these arguments don't fit in. In the end it's just the Germans being isolated from the rest of the world's and this is exactly the pain in the ass that I am talking about. I want to do social networking with my friends and my family. There's no way around it, I'm just having too much fun doing it to just leave it. But why the heck do they need to spread over dozens of websites and tell "I don't want to be on Facebook, I'm already registered with too many websites" instead of just joining the right one? lol. Sounds like I'm doing advertising for Facebook, but I'm not. Not taking any money for it anyway, I'm just pissed. I don't want these bad clones. And they actually are bad, that's for sure. Whoever is reading this and doesn't come from Germoney, be assured: I'm envious of you about not knowing these sites and the pain they're causing.
