Oh, Gawker. With your publishing Adrian Chen’s piece bitching about tech news being boring, all you do is bleat about the kind of thing you do: tech news churn. You use the news about the Facebook iPad app as an example of unexciting news, along with the follow-ups about Facebook blocking the app. Yeah: yawn. Except that iPad users the world over are HUGELY FUCKING EXCITED about the app, and so that news wasn’t boring to them. The follow-ups? Yeah, well, that’s tech blogging, isn’t it? Post often, post crap and hope enough eyes end up on the ads. Rinse. Repeat.

Perhaps if more sites were a little more demanding about their stories, a bit choosier about what they published, rather than firing tons of noise into the digital ether, journos writing phenomenally boring tech news pieces wouldn’t be moaning about tech news being so phenomenally boring. After all, it’s not like tech itself is boring. I’m sitting here right now surrounded by GADGETS FROM THE FUCKING FUTURE. I am firing my words directly into people’s eyes, via the magic of the internet. Tech right now is fucking amazing. And any writer who thinks otherwise needs to consider if they’re in the right job; and anyone who thinks they’re churning out tech news that isn’t exciting, or that tech news in general is dull: do a better job.
