Pompous Twit uses blog to rant about, errm, bloggers

October 6, 2006

This is priceless. Author-cum-journo, Keith Waterhouse,  uses his own blog to post an article decrying bloggers…! According to him, they “do not have original thought between them”,  and they “never acknowledge original authorship”.

Really? Perhaps Mr Waterhouse has never come across a Trackback before; perhaps he is unfamiliar with the kind of link-love that feeds sites like Technorati and Techmeme.

Or perhaps it’s simply that he feels the great unwashed masses have no business sharing thoughts and ideas with the world, while the kind of publication he writes for tries to survive by pushing its policital virtiol  and “news” about d-lebrities on an ever-decreasing readership.

Ashley Norris, whose article on this subject caught my attention, nails it perfectly when he says,  ”Ultimately, with Keith, it boils down to the fact that the number of people who are interested in his tablets delivered from on high, is dwindling.”
