I read this on switchblog (http://suplido.com/joel/2006/03/18/blog-responsibly/) and thought it was interesting. Also another plug for switchblog which is a great site (especially for mac newbies like myself)

Gizmodo was trying to make something out of what essentially was an isolated incident.

What happened to Gizmodo? When it was just the fat Scottish guy, the site was funny with a pretty open view about different tech. Now days, since the site has exploded, I see lots of bias, which is their right, but they don't allow just anyone to leave feedback comments. You have to be on some "list." :rolleyes:

Anyways, I go to site daily. I generally see rehashed items from Akihabranews and other tech sites. Without the fat Scottish guy's humor, the site isn't as good and sometimes I wonder why I even bothered; That would be boredom.

Engadget is beginning to be like Gizmodo too. Sometimes, I just don't get what they're trying to "report."

(thanks for the plug) :cool:

How many sites do you have? :D You created that site with that iWeb app correct?

Maybe they're trying to report shock factor? Slashdot always posts missleading topics just to annoy different groups. But at least they offer feedback when irritation ensues. :)

I'm having troubles finishing the few sites I was supposed to have up and running eons ago. :o

Blah, off to bed.

Switchblog is powered by Wordpress. My iWeb site has been dead for quite some time but will be up as a site dedicated to education. :)
