Well, your opinion won't change this kind of stuff in other countries either. Your actions will, though.

Exactly, which is why I think it's important to point out when something is wrong rather than try to promote it as an example for others to follow.

Sure, feel free to continue. Just don't come here looking for praise.

edit: *praise from everyone. It seems some people are impressed. Congrats.

And I'd like to address the "not technically challenging" part of your comment.

Do you have even slightest idea what it takes to juggle the APIs of 4 buggy social networks without passing it through to your customers?

I'm not saying I'm a high-league developer, but your remark seemed like an ignorant understatement to me.

Dude, look around. There's no shortage of people pointing to something.

It's not about shaming. It's not about praise.

It's about actually doing something, even if it seems dirty. Because one day it'll help you to actually change the whole system. There are a lot of examples of this phenomenon.
