Ah, no not another Top 100 list

This post is going to sound like I’m having a bad day, but I’m not. But I am fed-up with Top 100 lists. It seems to be all we get on the TV these days and now I have to have all of my time and bandwidth wasted by another blog one – this time from CNet. As I subscribe to a number of these sites, I have today had to endure endless ‘thank-you and ’I’m honoured’.

Please no more. In the same way that I would rather my TV told me something useful, rather than repackaged the same stuff I’ve seen a 100 times before I’d rather these top 100 blogs told me something constructive rather than pointing to someone repackaging their content. Come on guys you are better than that. We are busy people and each one of these posts contributed to the (as Arthur C Clarke put it) “World-Wide-Wait”. Feeds a great for deciding who I want to listen to, this type of thing reduces the value. I’m only ranting because this isn’t the first time it’s happened. I really do not care where you have been ranked – I care about the content you provide me.

PS – these guys deserve to be noticed, it’s the cheap journalism that I hate.
