Hello & Welcome! Please Insert Your Exit Ticket...
It seems as if there are all sorts of Blogs on the 'Tubes these days and in the current economic crisis that we are in as fellow Americans, that more and more services are either changing, restructuring, or just wholesale out of business.
It seems like a very short time ago when Nick Denton, Peter Rojas and Co. decided to launch their own Tech blogs. And boy, were they honest, frank and hard hitting? Its a rhetorical question folks and of course, we all know the answer is yes. I read Gizmodo today and cringe. The turn-over and quality of work has suffered in a scant 36 month period. Engagdet, who used to be witty, clever and just 'All Over" is just...Fading.
My brief point is this, Dear Readers: When we as 'citizen journalists' or 'bloggers' start to just regurgitate the essence of the PR Representatives press release and offer a 'review' that clearly shows how little 'we' have played around with said products, we are in indeed becoming and have completed the metamorphosis of "Selling Out".
I will not sell out, I will not kiss ass and I will be honest. All of these qualities have resulted in me being unemployed in my industry as the theory of the LCD applies. No, not that Sharp Aquos LCD. The theory of the Lowest Common Denominator.
More on this, after the jump! Er, next post.
Thanks for listening and lets mix this bitch up and kick it up a notch!
