And Lo... It Came To Pass...
**** WARNING****
The following post contains a useless attempt at humour/humor (oh, I dunno, possible funnies?) in parts used to illustrate a point. If you are of a nervous disposition or have, at some point in the recent past, been easily offended by nothing whatsoever, particularly if I wrote it, then please look away now. No, Seriously - on this one if you are going to be offended - just stop reading, ok?
...that in the beginning were the Brick'ians, the Nok'ians and the Motorolaaaaas. And the Brick'ians begat the Noki'ians and the Morolaaaaas.
But then came the BlackBerr'ians. And they did'st look down upon the Noki'ians and Motorolaaaaas. And they did'st introduce many to the joys of the 'push email' and the BIS. And the Noki'ans and the Motorolaaaas looked upon the BlackBerr'ians and said 'hey, this stuff is good! We can use a full keyboard rather than tappy tappy and get emails too? I'm in!'
And the Nok'ians and Motorolaaaaas numbers dwindled whilst the BlackBerri'ans swelled beyond number. And the leaders of the BlackBerr'ians looked upon the masses and said 'wow, this is a bit funky! We must keep this going!'
And then came the Jobs. And he did'st create a new breed - the i'Phoninans that were begat from the i'Podians. And they demanded a different and attractive world from the BlackBerri'ans. A world where actually communicating wasn't a priority. And they worshipped the Angry Bird. And the elastic band.
And the BlackBerri'ans began to dwindle. And the multitude didst say to their leaders 'give us some of that Angry Birds action!' but their leaders smiled and said 'No, you don't really want that as your email, SMS and BBM is extra cool...ok??'
And the BlackBerrians didst look at each other and they didst say... 'er....ok...we'll go with that as that Jobs thing looks a bit like a toy and doesn't work properly.' And the Jobs made hay at the expense of the BlackBerr'ians with his fancy launches and funky elastic bands which were a fashion accessory within minutes.
And THEN came the 'Droids', the very spawn of man itself. And they did'st begin to crush all before them. Not even the Jobs could stop them. And the BlackBerri'ans dwindled further and they looked to their leaders and said 'hang on, if they can do it, surely you can for God's sake'.
And the leaders of the BalckBerri'ans listened to the multitude. And bailed out.
So a new leader of the BlackBerri'ans came. And he promised great things. And it didn't work out quite as expected. So a great decision was made across the river of social media...
And BBM was offered to the iPhonians and the all encompassing Droids. And all drank from the BBM pool.
And all saw it as good.
Very good.
So the BlackBerri'ans did'st the right thing.
And stuck them in a queue.
