These bubble charts aren't beautiful, because they make it harder to see the comparative sizes between smaller dots.

Hard to believe Xitter is still that high.

WhatsApp has a website? One that so many people visit?

[–] lasta@piefed.world 1 points 3 days ago

WhatsApp Web can be used in a browser. WhatsApp is still a major form of communication in some countries, including for international business communications.

Xtube, PornHub, RedTube, homegrown Simpsons stuff... I know these names better than my own grandmother's.

One is yahoo.com (US), the other is yahoo.co.jp (Japan).
