A Sad Reminder of the State of Digital Iliteracy in the World

Posted on February 11, 2010 by

Readwriteweb Apparently many, many people don't know how to use the address bar on their web browsers.  This entertains, alarms and depresses me all at the same time.  From my friend Matt Stratton:

Somehow a ton of idiot Facebookers who apparently log onto Facebook by doing Google searches all landed on this ReadWriteWeb post (must have had awesome Google juice). And they ALL THOUGHT READWRITEWEB WAS A NEW FACEBOOK. Check out the comments (there are over 250, and the average RWW post gets… about 10-12 comments). It makes me sad for the internets.

Check the original blog post over at ReadWriteWeb.com and Matt's analysis here.

Congrats for making my Thursday, Matt!
