Naming names…

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Geek News Central has a post about unsubscribing to a handful of feeds that are both partial feeds, and filled with Google Ads. He was nice enough not to name names but I’m sure that any of you who subscribe to said feeds (Cough, cough, Lockergnome, cough cough..)know exactly who he’s talking about. Seriously, with all the available tech feeds out there, why should I bother with one that only contains 3 lines of text and an ad in every post?

Update: Chris was kind enough to leave a comment and let me know that the ads are no longer on every item. That’s better.

  • Linked – How to repair a trust problem

    She mentions a round of layoffs as an example of breaking trust, and I’m glad she included that. All too often, when a round of layoffs occurs, senior management will return to talking about the culture or set of core values they expect all employees to follow without ever acknowledging that it’s different now. You can’t just return to talking about the importance of teamwork and diversity when you just canned 10% of the team as if nothing happened.

    Yes! My glasses came back all ready for me to pick up over my lunch hour. You have no idea how nice it is to be able to recognize people at a distance again. *L* They came in just in time for Angela and I to go to see The Best of Shadowbox 02 tonight….

    It’s the second annual edition of the Server Room of Horrors from Friends in Tech. I was impressed with last year’s special, but having had the opportunity to record a few lines for this one and see how much hard work goes into putting all of this together, I have a whole new respect for how…
