Solid

July 29, 2009

Good car writing and reviews. Nothing spectacular
here, but worth reading if you're into cars.

Gets boring after a few posts

July 27, 2009

As another reviewer mentioned, this is a one-trick
pony. It's a mildly amusing concept, but it gets
boring after you read a few.

Top-quality tech blogging talent

July 22, 2009

Love his posts on Techcrunch. As far as I'm concerned,
he's the best blogger on the best blog (in the tech
sphere at least).

With Arrington focusing more on random issues and
editorial posts, Schonfeld has become the de facto main
man at Techcrunch. I used to be a huge fan of his when
he wrote for Business 2.0 (a shame that that magazine
folded) and I remain a big fan of his TC writing. He's
consistently interesting and insightful.

Solid gadget writer

June 04, 2009

Nothing earth-shattering here, but Ricker cranks out
excellent short pieces for Engadget. Seems like he
usually focuses on newly released and upcoming
products. He's a solid, entertaining writer.

Pathetic; an awful self-engrandizer with all the wrong
motives

June 04, 2009

It's hard to pick which Maureen Dowd column I most
hate, but if pressed, I would choose this one: =
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/22/opinion/22dowd.html?_
r=4&ref=opinion

In target = _blank >http://www.nytimes.com/...
it, she delivers a shockingly confrontational interview
to the founders of Twitter. For some reason she feels
it's necessary to express her clear hatred for Twitter
in every question. But she never asks questions that
squarely address whatever it is that causes her to hate
the service, instead electing to make every question
passive-aggressive. Here's a tip for Dowd: if you're
going to confrontationally interview someone, at least
have the decency to address, head-on, whatever it is
that you dislike.

Her disdain for decency is not limited to this
column. Far from it. This is, after all, a women who
published a book suggesting men are superfluous.

Top-notch talent on a top-notch blog

June 03, 2009

Mashable is, in my opinion, the best tech/social media
blog out there. Parr is one of Mashable's primary
contributors, and he completely deserving of that
position. His coverage his consistently
excellent--lucid and on-point.

When a blog gets as big as Mashable it inherently has
to act a little more like a normal media outlet, so
Parr's posts (as well as most other Mashable writers)
don't always have a ton of "personal-ness" to them.
But that's fine--you can't write for the masses and
include too much about yourself.

Simply put, a must read for anyone interested in
web/tech/social media.

A bit hard to take

May 07, 2009

I find the content here to be a bit saccharine and,
frankly, uninteresting. The best part about this blog
is the design of the blog itself, which is stunning.
But Greg's writing doesn't do much for me.

Mildly amusing

April 30, 2009

I guess if you're into cake humor, this site is perfect
for you. Personally, I'm not. It's kinda a cute
concept, but not something that'd I'd check out on a
regular basis.
