I liked this post quite a bit, but I think that essentially what he's complaining about is that bloggers write from their own perspective. That's the whole point of blogs, isn't it? They're one person's voice?

He is also warning that their perspective can be misleading. Like saying that Stack Overflow participants are the best developers on the planet, for example.

There's a difference between sharing your "perspective" and sharing "untruths."

Wow, my irony detector just blew up...

(edit) I went back and finished the (looooooooooong) post... this is beyond irony.

Hilarious and biting. Well worth reading through the whole thing.

Paul Graham, the great grand-daddy of feeding bullshit to impressionable young hackers for the sake of recruiting

Had to laugh at that one :)

excellent post, thanks for sharing... what the post fails to zero in on (at least state directly) is that all of these people are simply marketing. is all marketing bullshit? i dunno, but that's what these guys are all doing...
