    Mark, we really have to stop meeting like this. I mean, you write an article, nobody reads it - I come here to enter another trolly comment, and I end up having to say...

    F¡RST

    ... because nobody else cares enough to write.

    I'm sorry Mark. I'm sure someone is actually reading the content. Maybe they're copying it to a site that pays them for content.

    Hmm... Well, this article was, um, sorry, I got nothing. A pie chart? You spent a whole 500 words talking about why Google should make it easier for you to make a pie chart? Really? I mean, I could understand if this was some pointless one-man-show blog like mine, but, doesn't Mashable pay you to write for them?

    A pie chart? You don't have MS Office? Or OpenOffice.org? Or iWork? Or AppleWorks? Or WordPerfect Office? Or Zoho Charts? Or...

    god... a freakin' pie chart.... wow.

    Hey. You think it's bad that I got paid to write about it, think about the Googler getting paid top dollar to develop... a pie chart.

    I mean, really, you're talking Segway money for that Google code monkey. I'm suddenly depressed for the rest of the world, including myself.

    I think the charts are a nice and easy way to add some character to a page. I added them as an extension to Deki Wiki which makes it even easier to embed. Check out the blog post I did on it: http://www.mindtouch.com/blog/2007/12/11/google...
