Ever Notice
Oct.19.06 Filed in: life
Ever notice how on 90 percent of tech news sites and
blogs the comments always feel like they have been
written by high school boys? I read blogs like
Engadget and Gizmodo and sometimes I venture into the
comments to see if anyone has any more to say on the
post posted, you know things like insight into the
post, but all I ever find are really poorly stated he
said she said kind of arguments and ill used sarcasm
like all of the tech world either really literally is
a bunch of 15 year olds or never managed to get out
of those puberty like ego swings.
While I'm rambling here, I have not been reading the Gizmodo blog all to long but is it always this badly written? seems like the writers are really really trying hard to be as sarcastic as possible, you know, to add a bit of humor to their blog but they always just manage to come across as dicks in my mind. Maybe these commenters are just emulating their geek news overloards. Engadget is at least has better writing than Gizmodo but they still have there share of condescending sarcasm floating around.
Anyways... back to your regularly scheduled posting...
