Cindy had a couple weeks off and we did a lot of travelling. I fell behind in my RSS feeds. As I was going back through them, I started to slog through 300 unread Gizmodo stories, got pissed off by their blatant Apple bias (stories about Apple’s upcoming Grand Central Station store, the Business Software Alliance, and Carrier IQ), and had enough. I deleted Gizmodo from Google Reader and, in doing so, also killed off several hundred starred articles I’d intended to get back to.
Good riddance. I feel relieved. I spend way too much time going through redundant feeds. If there’s anything good on Giz, hopefully I’ll see it through other channels.
Engadget, you haven’t really pissed me off yet but I’m doubting your value. Kotaku, your idiot articles about Japanese pop culture, annoying tone, and blatant sexism are pissing me off. You’re both on notice.
Don’t be surprised if you see a few more bitchy articles about Gizmodo as I go through my backlog…
