Comments on: Blog OverLoad, Anyone? http://www.markevanstech.com/2007/10/23/blog-overload-anyone/ A Canadian Take on the Web Sat, 30 Aug 2008 02:53:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Omar Ismail http://www.markevanstech.com/2007/10/23/blog-overload-anyone/#comment-8688 Omar Ismail Tue, 23 Oct 2007 14:06:20 +0000 http://markevanstech.com/2007/10/23/blog-overload-anyone/#comment-8688 There's one "top 100" blog I can think of that posts an inordinate amount of content that is ridiculous. It's gotten to the point where I'm thinking of unsubscribing the feed. And I definitely agree with you about quality, which isn't to say length. ReadWriteWeb does a good job of giving deep analysis, sometimes it can go TOO deep, but often they hit the right sweet spot. Frankly, most people already subscribe to TechCrunch so there's no point in just announcing news. Giving unique perspectives and insight let's you talk about the "hot" news of the day and gives readers something useful to work with, not just another me-too headline.
