(supposing it does now, that is)?
À propos of Wm Gibson’s latest blog entry, which links to yet another Gawker Media blog, this one sci-fi focussed (I’m not going to link, google it, lazy!)…when does it all just become a circular feeding frenzy?
I observed this in the small circle of gadget/cell phone/similar blogs when I was looking for my phone. The iPhone was about to come out, and there was an information drought pending the big announcement. The blogs all started referencing each other. No hard news, so let’s talk about each other. I’m not saying anything bad about Mr Gibson and his blog, I’m just commenting on some of the commercial sites.
I subscribe to a bunch of Gawker sites, don’t get me wrong. I find them of varying utility and entertainment. The whole situation of commercial, corporate blogs I find a little odd…I mean if it comes with a cnet logo, or a major media logo, you know what you’re getting. And I guess if it comes with a Gawker Media logo, you know what you’re getting, too. Sometimes all that the music blogs can do is talk about what each other are all talking about, too (grammatically, there are some problems with that sentence, but I don’t really see how to fix it without snooting it up, so sorry, just deal with it).
All’s I’m saying is keep your eyes open, kids!
