Twitter shaming: There's no app for that

As regular readers will attest, I'm kind of a connoisseur of stupid ideas, especially stupid ideas generated by technology companies. It keeps me pretty busy. But I gotta say, this one from an app maker named Enfour is one of the most brain-dead ideas of all time.

First, some background: Japan-based Enfour makes mobile dictionary apps, some of which cost as much as $55. (That must be one heck of a dictionary, with lots of very big words in it.) Apparently, mobile dictionaries are highly prized by software pirates. Given that Enfour wants 55 simoleons for them, I don't doubt it.
