I'm Boycotting Gizmodo

| 4 Comments

Today, I left a comment critical of the editors (i.e., suggesting a port of Tetris on the iPhone wasn't really very news-worthy) and they disabled my comments. Real mature, guys.

If you can't take editorial criticism from your readers, you don't deserve readers.

Remember, these are the same morons that managed to get their rear-ends permanently removed from covering CES as press and bloggers (This the first year that CES gave bloggers essentially press credentialing). Why? They pranked booths by turning off displays all over the convention floor, and filming it for posterity (and notoriety).

Gizmodo needs to grow up, IMHO.

Good point, Renee. :-)

I'll join your boycott. Gizmodo must know they're certainly not the only game in town. I can get my geek fix easily enough on Engadget.

Thanks, Bob. I got an email a few hours ago from one of the Assoc. Editors telling me he was unbanning me because he didn't think my post merited banning.

Not sure yet when/if I'll head back to Gizmodo...time will tell...
