Thinking of other interesting blogs and then deciding to search for Linus Torvalds’s blog on Google, it seems clear that only a small amount of trust from the community grants you access to a search engine’s indexed meta data records. Go ahead. Search for Linus’s Blog and see what you find first. Or click on the image above to see what I found. Let us see if the same formula can work here. On this this kerneltrap entry, the following quote was quite appropriate.
Overripe fruit squishes when you step on it. This is the source of most of the injustice in the world.
A bit further down the google response I found this /. reference which suggests that comments keep the quality of information higher.
One of the reasons this site probably puts a comment section. If a comment is unsupported by facts, it will soon be shot down by other comments. It gets us away from thinking that an expert or news giver is an unquestioned elite source of information.
Although I share this opinion, when the seed topic lacks quality, you attract a lacking comment community, that can at times, seem to create autooverspontanuity [sp?] among participants. i.e. Crap. [I do read /. frequently, and Slashdot still remains the default page on many systems I use].
I noticed last night, during the awesome defeat of Russia by the world junoir Canadian team, that the TSN media engine was putting quite a bit of spin on the game. (I sure didn’t mind .. but I recognized that the rest of the world, particularily across the pond, may be getting slightly different commentary) Without feedback/comments present, it seemed sort of unfair that the ‘news giver [was] an unquestioned elite source’ as it was clearly biased for the TSN feed. At one point, I imagined the amount of feedback that would happen on Slashdot following the posting of a few of TSN’s one-liners or seudo-facts presented during the game.
The silliest line had to be how one player was reffered to as a “personification of embellishment”. A little over the top to make a point.
No compliants from me either way.. Just a bit of opinion.
