Android and Nexus One is actually REALLY good if you actually TRIED them!
And how is Facebook and email killer? It sould be listed as an IM killer because more people use Facebook as IM then REAL IM programs like AIM or Yahoo IM and yeah Etc.

Re: Technology Killers

what is so wrong if something is better than something else? For you to waste money on the newest "in style" electronics? Don't be the same, be different!

Re: Technology Killers

People like copying successful ideas. Live with it.

Still, they're not "killers," but simply another kind of the same thing.

Scratch Killer:
Nil. Unless you count Game creator and Stencyl, which aren't really that similar on account of having native tile based stage support.

No, Scratch Killers are mixes of several things.

Texting
Facebook
Twitter
Blogs
Other Social Networking Stuff.

Scratch has turned into a big social networking blob. No one's that focused on programming. But hey, I'm not blaming anyone. Except for the social networking sites.

Re: Technology Killers

Many people don't believe me about the Facebook thing, but a lot of people really have switched to Facebook and do not use email. And I am not saying all of these things are bad, I agree with you ScratchX, I think the Android is awesome(but I still think the Nexus One fails  tongue )

See and thats why its a Scratch killer. MANY Scratch users quit Scratch for Python. And adriangl, well its kinda stupid too switch to facebook and quit your email...wait...how can you? Don't you need an Email to make an Account of Facebook? lol.
Also im surprised on how many Scratchers have Facebook accounts...i mean really? Its for people who are 13+ and STRICTLY that because of safety.

Everything has a "killer", or at least there's someone else that makes something similar. Otherwise, it would be an illegal monopoly and the government would step in.

DeviantART makes you be 13 too. I don't understand why. Or did they change it?
