Tech Blogs or Rants and Raves! [IMO]

The majority of post running out there in the wild have been more rants or opinions that are displayed to be facts in the title. Once you start reading on there seems to be a lack of any proof or supporting data. No one really has been putting out real note worthy posts any more. Half of the time you spot a headline and think to yourself here is some more BS. Like "why a company is doing this". Then you get a crap load of someones opinion. If it is your opinion state it clearly as an opinion. It is getting to the point where post are nothing more than an experiance of sifting through every friends new game acheivement in Facebook. Look I value peoples opinion. But if your post is all about what you think about a product or service then make it say so in your title. If you have hard proof then lay it out there as such. SEO means squat if you are putting out a good title and subpar writing behind it. I don't claim to be an Lit major but I'm sure in Literature 101 they teach value of content or how appeal to your audiance. Digg has become flooded with these post. I used to enjoy findind news and opinions there. The Engadget and god forbid Gizmodo have fallen heavy in this realm. And they pay these people for their content. When I see certain writers under the header I don't even bother to read any further. There just needs to be more to tech news than SEO. For those who may not understand that term it is search engine optimization. It's to try and get you a high ranking in search sites. I feel as if our tech writers are following a path such as FOX news. You watch it and think "wow really that is news". That's all I got today. Enjoy.
