Why use my app? CyberSweetness

I won't lie to you it is buggy as hell right now but as you can see Facebook is embracing a more open stance as it races against twitter to be the homepage of the internet.  My app can help with that.  At its core is a simple service which will take your favorite websites and trends them into different geographic and social areas... from a marketing perspective it is a place which will allow people to highlight their vanity urls...
twitter.com/urlpirates
facebook.com/togocats
yourcompanywebsite.com
etc..plus a few websites you really like...

in the future we will add more integration points which will allow you to highlight your social impact online.. your urls but for now it is pretty basic.. I am still looking for some help..someone to partner with...

Take a look.. add yourself as a fan..add the app

Go fuck yourself Cinoplex odean

I sent this to Cinoplex Odean

"

It is really sad what has become of CO. I remember when going to the movies use to be an event. Gone are the days when you got a nice smile from staff, gone are the days when they are well groomed, gone are the days of thank you and your welcome. ALso gone are the days of nachos and cheese. See that was the only reason I ever went to movies in the theatres. I would order your nacho meal with triple extra cheese and they would soak my nachos. Well I went to a movie recently and this theatre and they changed to this really horrible tasting cheese, they sold it in these individual containers.. where here I was dumping cheese on my nachos which is not easy to do. THe little packs you use to have were much better.. the squeeze ones cause doing it this way you end up getting half on the seats..."


This was there response

"

Thank you for contacting Cineplex Entertainment regarding your visit to the Cineplex North Edmonton. 

 

We will forward your concerns to the theatre's management team; however we will need a date, showtime, phone number and mailing address at which you may be contacted. 

 

Please respond with the requested information at your earliest convenience. "


This was mine

Why do you need my phone number?  So you can annoy me with a phone call?  Why do you need my mailing address?  You have no idea how dangerous a game you play... you do not annoy a web nerd.. you do not annoy the Gebadia.. the man who built a facebook app designed to highlight companies like yours that piss him off...

I went to see transformers today.  Usually I go to a Cinoplex odean theater but because you changed your cheese and have poor service I cannot.  Why do I need a date?  Do you think these are date specific?  Don't ask me dumb questions cause as my friends say you will bring out angry nerd and when that happens... do you want angry nerd.. there he goes.. arggg....

See the correct answer is to say I understand your frustrated not to ask me crap questions.. cause when you do that.. I get pissed.. and why do you want to make me angry.. why... nooo... see it is happening.. you did it..

youtube, blogs, facebook, yelp..,. did I say 7 different blogs.. did I... and twitter.   Don't you get it.. when your company pisses me off I will take my iphone, I will take my PC and make you famous online...

It is not an isolated event.  Have you been to a theatre recently in Edmonton?  The level of service, the level of proffesionalism, getting someone to smile and say thank you is a thing of the past. 

In the old days when they all had a clue little things like opening the door before a movie got out was done.  You had staff that was clean shaven.  Nowadays the service is crap.  And your solution is to forward my complaint to a manager who is responsible for this. 

The most annoying part was when you did have good cheeze I would have to beg to pay to get my nachos soaked.  

So it was everytime I went to a movie in the past 4 years.  But then I had that wonderful cheeze to help me survive.. take away that and all you have left is a poorly run company which you are, a poorly run theatre which it is.. leaving people like me to either go elsewear or watch a bootlegged version online..

Frankly I don't care no more.. you cannot tell me the theatres that have the old cheeze.. and I have lost faith in your company to understand the movie experience...but that is ok... once my website stuff takes off, I will buy a theatre.. compete against you and put you out of business which wouldn't be hard cause you all are clueless...

And you know what you brought angry nerd out when you asked for my phone number, and mailing address..."


Did I really send this.. nahhh... what is the point.. they got rid of my cheese.. this guy is some idiot making $10 an hour.. it is the owners.. the top level people who screwed up movies.. it should be an event.. something to remember.. something magical and now.. well you want to know what happened to the people pumping your gas.. they now work at Cinoplex Odean..

BMO, TD you both get an F for your password system... Royal Bank you get a A relative to them..

I am a web geek.. I spend most of my time online as I have no life.. one of the things that has always been an interest to me is passwords, our secret key to our information online.  I am sure many a company struggles with the danger of allowing people to access information online.. many a bank does which is why I find it odd that in general my gmail password is mathimatically harder to hack than my online banking account.. my facebook is more secure, my youtube is more secure...

Now I know you are going to say huh... well lets just look at 3 banks

BMO (Bank of Montreal) :  6 numbers or letters.. that is right 6, just 6... I said are you fuckin kidding me to the guy on the phone.. he said no.. I can I trust my money to your bank when you have the worst password system I have ever seen in my life.. 6.. to get a YouTube account I need at least 8 characters and they even let me use the funky $%##@ letters... 

That means basically a computer program built to hack my account only has to look at passwords that contain numbers and letters, both lower case and upcase 6 characters long..

Maybe you can do that math.. how many possible passwords could there be... well a lot less than TD

TD:  Truth is they are not much better..5-8 letter or numbers, upper or lower.. ok a bit better...but still I can't even get a password on YouTube unless I have 8 characters and in most cases unlike TD it will tell me the password is weak if I used a true word...

again this means that in terms of the password and I am only talking about the password a computer program simply has to worry about number letter combinations in lower and upper that are between 5-8 characters long..

And when I pointed this out to TD they said your money is guarenteed... I have to laugh at this because all our money in banks is guarenteed.. at least up to some certain amount.. just do you want to have your identity stolen because all yoru finacial information is contained in your bank account...

Royal Bank:  Finally I came accross a bank that just gets it.. and I am going to have to change my account to them.. 8-32 number letter characters.. now it is not perfect because it should allow for special characters but there are millions of more possible password choices with a Royal Bank online password system than with TD and BMO...

Now I know you will say it doesn't matter but it really does because online fraud is more profitable than drugs.. it is a billion dollar business.  These banks tell us to be carefull all the time but when they don't at least try to give us the proper tools which is a modern password system isn't it a bit hypocrytical? 

To me... TD and BMO need to get there act together and the reason they don't is because it would require work.. all banks likely use an old DOS system for their number crunching because the older stuff is very secure.. they all likely have layered security and I am not making any comments on that..

If I was a math person and maybe you are I would go through and say how many possible passwords for each... common sense tells me that Royal Bank is a better password system.. and should tell you.. how secure is your money..

These are the questions we should ask... and so take a look, call your bank and leave a comment if yours is different.. go to my app at http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=15039045275  and go to urlsmack, search for your bank via the url (bmo.com) and leave a suggestion.. which is why I created cybersweetness because it is not only up to us to make the internet secure.. it is up to these big corporations to at least have a password system as secure as YouTube, Facebook, GMAIL.. after all it is our money.. and the last thing I want is to go on a date and have my card decline because someone stole all my money... sure I will get it back but I ain't getting laid that night..

This is Gebadia Smith at http://urlpirates.com  did you know urlpirates.com without the www is called a naked URL... :)

Pizzahut you still are clueless

It is always a little sad to see these big legit companies like www.pizzahut.ca simply not get it when it comes to the internet.  First off all pizza companies should use a facebook app.. why you would not make it possible to order from facebook or from a mobile phone app is idiotic.. almost as idiotic as asking for information before letting a persn order food.  Go to www.pizza73.com and you get to select what you want and then order which should be common sense but the problem is the people who create websites tend to spend more time in front of a computer than talking to normal everyday people.. see it is about giving people more reason to finish the order.. IF I take the time to select the order, select what I want, I am more hungry and I have one more reason to finish the order.  When I see a text entery box first I leave the website and go elsewears.. just the way it works.. furthermore I hate small text boxes..

So what I do when I see a company like this I blog about it, and then I got to http://cybersweetness.com and go to urlsmack and add this as a suggestion.
