Welcome to Retrospec™, the last social media network you will ever need. You are one of the few selected to test this exciting new platform based on our cutting-edge algorithms. Less than two hundred invitations have gone out, and membership is not currently open to the public. However, we hope you will come to see how useful Retrospec™ is, given time. We have for your use a variety of features such as text, voice, video, and image posts. We encourage you to explore our many options. Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. As a reminder, everything besides uploading a profile picture and information was locked until this post. Usernames are the character's full real AU names, not aliases or chosen nicknames or usernames, and seemed to have filled themselves in; nothing characters do can change or obscure their names currently. Oddly, profile pictures still cannot be swapped out at this time, so hopefully you took a good one.

it moved your hand enough to post, didn't it? then it accomplished its job. ♥

[furtherforward]

you're right, it's like magic. if only accomplishing its job also meant making itself disappear.

[erythristic]

it can't, it has to enrage us to the point of casting aside our phones and accomplishing the goal of releasing us from our dependence on technology.

revolutionary concept: being able to use your phone for whatever you want, especially if it includes NOT THIS.

but I can see it. wonder just how many of these losers can't go five minutes without checking their phones.

[erythristic]

a safe estimate is around 50%

[furtherforward]

a figure too modest to safely cover the widespread aimlessness we'd see I'm sure. people are so reliant on conveniences like these.

so? do you care for this app?

[erythristic]

i feel neither strongly for or against it. it's too soon to give a true estimation of my feelings - but seeing as it's used like any other social media site, it simply exists. an option to be used or ignored.

I see...

we feel similarly, you and I. it is what it is at this point. I wouldn't have opted in if given the choice, but we can only move forward from this point, no?

[erythristic]

exactly. moving forward.
and given this level of dissatisfaction, the trial period of the app is likely to be short enough that this time next year it'll be nothing more than a weird memory.
