I can’t understand any of it either. Look at guy like Feldman at 1938media. Traffic pouring in. Sticky enough content, albeit controversial to some, and no ads to speak of. I shelled out a ‘fitty’ for “premium content’ but shit, you need a lot of assholes like me to make a living of that.

I love you. Sorry I haven’t read you in a few months; you could’ve added about how us blog readers are so fickle, too.

I was thinking, since Steve Jobs is down for the count now, how about if you take on someone else? John Boehner is a sure bet. Lots of stuff to work with there, a virtual cornucopia of fun.

It’s too bad you can’t treat blogs like zombies. Then all you’d need is a shotgun. Aim at the head and BOOM! No more zombie blog.

Of course, you’d still have to fight off the hundreds of other blogs that act exactly the same way, trying to eat your brains, but it would be worth it.

This post was hilarious and totally accurate ! Blogs are like any other medium, there are only few people with something interesting to say or point out.

Most blogs end up like zombies, aimlessly repeating each other. Hell, most people end up blogging about blogging, and tweetering about tweetering. But once in a while you found some that are worthwile to read (like this one).

At the end its not the medium, it’s what you have to say.

Hey Dan
How and why did you become such a loser? We didn’t read your blog with the intent of making you an internet gazillionaire, we read it for much more selfish reasons…..IT WAS FUNNY. It was fresh, it poked fun at anyone and everyone in the technical arena as well a variety of other fields. In a word….it was ENTERTAINING….something this lame excuse for a blog has never been accused of.

I’ve written about this issue many times before and it’s why I’ve slowly moved CenterNetworks away from chasing the same news.

I was telling someone the other day that tech blogging is like the Daytona 500. You can either stay in the draft and hope that the pack pulls you along (like what Techmeme does) or you can ride by yourself and while people will see you on the track, you probably won’t win the race. Sometimes though, the cars in the draft wreck and that car who stayed outside the draft misses it and can move to the front.

People have noticed that I’ve been writing all original content and seem to like it. I can say I am enjoying the work much more than writing a story about the same stories as everyone else. Since I am 100th in line, by the time they get to my viewpoint on a story, they have read it on the other sites already. I like reporting on news but like finding news that the other sites aren’t reporting on. When I do want to write about a hot news story, I typically wait a day or two to make sure my voice is heard as best as I can get it out there.

A nice piece of content-free non-post. Too bad. I miss FSJ. OK, I know.. gone … but even the Real Dan used to be better.

I am over at Pixar Studios rewriting Flash for iPhone because codetards at adobe can’t get out of dodge. ADObe, more like ACAN’TBE or something.

It is no problem, really. We did the same little thing with freetard unix and made it into a huge hit (OS X, have you heard of it?).

Now we are going to add some Zing into the Flash

From now on, the “F” in FSJ stands for “Flash”, fanboyz.
