Blogging once noble now a victim of the masses according to Richard MacManus

Comments

Richard recently posted ‘How to game Digg and the blogosphere‘, and in the post he whined about how people with sensationally titled blogs titles are getting more hits than his ‘I researched lots’ posts.

I have to say Richard, grow up. Yup I am being sensational, yup I am picking an opposing view but I tell you Richard the feeling is real.

We live in a world of 15 second attention spans, action films, blood driven video games of mayhem and extreme violence, and you are taking the time to complain about something that isn’t new. Am I going to fast? Am I telling you something you don’t know?

Richard, I like your blogs, I read them regularly, I quote them too and until now I found your content nearly universally valuable but this post, well its just a waste of effort, and a waste of my time. Acknowledging the obvious isn’t what I come to your blogs to read, so stop complaining and keep writing good copy.

On a separate matter why is it your trackbacks respond at the same speed Ms Daisy drives? As a matter of fact, I rarely ever even get a trackback from your sites (Read/Write exempt on this last bit).
