How Google's counterculture changes everything | The Digital Home - Don Reisinger's take on the tech closest to home - CNET Blogs

heads up: this is a pretty old post, it may be outdated.

I don't intend to talk about a lot of negative things, but this one really struck my cord. First off:[ c|net blogs](http://blogs.cnet.com/?tag=hd_ts). Some are okay, some are bad, and some are awful. When these started several years ago, the idea was to have experts talk tech to a general audience. The problem is that blogs require 2 things: an opinion, and constant updating. That's a recipe for disaster. The link below should prove my point.

This guy's post not only has nothing to do with tech in the home, but it has no point. Maybe I'm completely missing his point here, but I hardly see how services that are meant to [compete with other services](http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2007/02/google-docs-spreadsheets-vs-microsoft.html) are aimed at getting people to navigate away from a google page. He's either wrong or not making his point clearly. A example of why he shouldn't have to come up with new content all the time.

…which brings me to the second thing that's been pissing me off: all of the blogging/talk/whatever about [Google](http://google.com). don't get me wrong – I do like me the Google. They're in my opinion, the best at what they do. But Mr. Digital Home, has no place praising them in a random, poorly worded blog post. It's just the latest example of how web culture works – talk about the hot thing just to increase hits (or some similar motivation, like having nothing better to write about).

Right. done.
