It will be a sad day if this patent is actually granted, especially with how vague of a technology it defines and how much the technology is already used by current giants (Google, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, etc) It seems that what really needs to happen is all of these companies being sued need to team up and grind these patent trolls into pulp to keep people from doing crap like this.

Well, some of the companies you mentioned are using the same obvious and/or prior art laden patents as a weapon against their competitors, so that 'sad day' has obviously already happened.
