Re:Oh Zonkie..

If I've ever seen an advertisement on slashdot (thank you ad block) this is it.. There is NOTHING remotely news worthy about this article, infact it is more or less a Google advert with more space and an icon.

Oh come on - I'm hardly the biggest Zonk defender, [slashdot.org] but the linked article seems (whilst boring) fairly appropriate for the games section of slashdot.

Also (fires up Internet explorer), it appears to have no advertising on it at all - so I'm not sure what motivation they could have for having zonk link to their page. (Hmmmmn, lets pay slashdot for a big spike in bandwidth costs, with no corresponding revenue. Nope.)

This isn't news for nerds...

News? No. Stuff that COULD matter? No. So why did this make the cut?

Thanks

Tracking these things around is a pain in the ass, but I like to see them when they pop up. Thanks for a news post that I found Useful and Informative.

Which is true, even if I mostly posted just to spite the other twits in this comment stream.

Why does /. report on BLOGS?

[Hitto]

How tech-related is this? Do we gain any insight on news, or do we just get something we ALWAYS get in EVERY NEWSPIECE?
That is, some dude's comment on already old news. That's what a majority of blogs are, and that's why I browse /. instead of the "blogosphere" to get news. As a slashdot visitor, I don't feel like the kind that cares about blogs.

Please do not do this again.

Then just tag it "blog". Someday we'll get the ability to filter out articles based on these /. tags and the first thing I'm gonna do is add "blog" to the blacklist.
