UK tabloid journo at Daily Mail slates bloggers as a bunch of Googling nerdy anoraks
Keith Waterhouse has gone on an all out attack on bloggers, accusing them of regurgitating Google news, not acknowledging sources, and generally being a bunch of nerdy anoraks who spend all their time surfing the web and stealing stuff, without any original thoughts or content of their own.
I’ve written my ranting response on Tech Digest, and Ashley Norris of Shiny Media has also added his opinion.
What do you think? Should bloggers, and the Internet community in general if you read what Keith actually writes about people who use Google, be tarred in this way? Is this washed up mainstream media journalism? Have your say – better still blog it – and let Keith know how off the mark he is…
Unless you agree with him of course?
