I just finished my daily dose of Slashdot, and I want to clarify my position. Way too much of what passes as commercial tech journalism is nothing more than reformatted press releases. But much of the really interesting stuff is being done by people who don't have PR flacks, and that's the stuff I want to see. The amateur/reader-created news sites are a lot better at finding and printing the really interesting stories. That's because the publisher is passionate -- a zealot -- about the subject matter. The price we pay is that the content is not sanitized, and the zeal shows through. For me, it's well worth that price. BTW, there's another Linux news site I recommend: Linux Weekly News, lwn.net. The editor, Jonathan Corbet, is definitely a zealot (and a kernel developer). But the articles and the reader comments are less juvenile than you-know-where. LWN is also much more tightly focused on Linux. -- Bob Miller K<bob> kbobsoft software consulting http://kbobsoft.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
