web pet peeves of the week
Friday, August 12th, 2005Two things on the web that are REALLY annoying:
* People with blogs that blog about blogging. I know that people’s blogs are their own business and they can write what they want, but honestly, it is SO BORING to read a blog entry about blogging. I don’t watch TV shows that talk about how cool TV shows are, or read magazine articicles about magazine articles, so why would ANYONE be interested in reading a blog entry about blogging? Please, enough already.
* Podcasting Overhype. I’m still waiting for people to shut up about podcasting. Really, who cares??? A bunch of people recording themselves talking, then posting that into an RSS feed so that others can automatically download it to their music player isn’t interesting, and I don’t see why it is so hyped right now. Any VC firm that gives venture funding to a “podcasting company” is made up of idiots. It’s just another way to distribute content, nothing more and nothing less. It’s not a big deal, so please don’t treat it as such. And please don’t blog about it either.
