TechCrunch never ceases to amaze me. Pushing blogging forward? With a simple markdown to post converter with a crappy editor with an "idea" button?! Give me a break, man. Its too early for this.
An entire article about some designer elitist's super-cool-too-cool-for-you-bro-because-I'm-a-superhero closed blogging "network"?
Svbtle (dumb name.), is garbage. It looks like something I designed in 7th grade, yet it's getting so much attention that arguably the worst tech blog on the Internet did a write-up on it?
It was copied in 12 hours for a reason, it sucks.
Hacking is about openness, not snobs rubbing their clout in everyone's faces.
- jd 14y agoAlthough you certainly have a point I think your judgement is a bit too harsh, and the the logic "it was copied in 12 hours [therefore] it sucks" just doesn't follow.
- methoddk 14y agoIt may be, but I really don't take lightly to snobby people acting like the crap they make is better than anything anyone has ever seen. I have a markdown editor, too. It's called VIM.
- stevenkovar 14y agoA snob is just a regular person who has incited jealousy or offense. You're bigger than taking offense to someone who has a product with some quality control in place in its pre-launch phase.
- methoddk 14y agoIf quality control is the reason, then say so politely. Making the people reading about your product feel inadequate is not a good look. It's obvious the author of this article is friends with the self-proclaimed superhero-dick-villain, as an article about a closed blogging platform is in no way, shape, or form applicable news for a website of TC's magnitude.
